prismaticbleed[Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:7 NET)
To bear all things: to patiently receive all personal suffering without complaint or grudge, forgiving immediately and forgetting all offense, out of tender love for the person causing the pain;
To believe all things: to always give the benefit of the doubt, to never assume falsehood in another;
To hope all things: to pray for the salvation of even the most damaged souls, to take chances for them when the world insists there are none, to work untiringly for their growth in grace;
To endure all things: to face hell itself and never falter or retreat, knowing Who we fight for and Where we are headed, and to joyfully bring as many souls with us into eternal love as possible.
