Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete.
But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 The Message.
But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 The Message.
We first laid eyes on each other 15 days ago. One wouldn't imagine that life or perspective on life would change in just 15 days. Hope birthed and died in mere 15 days. Yet life goes on.
You called me 7 days ago, my hopes raised as it seemed like I could have a chance at life again; at honing my skills, passion for trading, and working alongside respectable investment professionals.
Even if neither were to come true, it would have been worthwhile. For a chance at hope, a glimpse of life and an opportunity at love. It would have been worthwhile.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing stood out and it was all that mattered......love. Above faith, hope and love; love stands out and remains.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of this is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV.
So I am back to where I was 15 days ago but all the more richer because of faith, hope and love......in and of Christ Jesus.
Shalom,
Sv ",+
