Faith, Hope and Love

And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinathians 13:13 (Amplified)

One of the questions I was asked last night, was along the lines of 'What is a Characteristic of God that stands out to you?' and the one that emerged fairly quickly was Hope. That's often been a theme, whether in HK, or here in different ways. I love that it's such a mystery, yet we can recognise it when we see it. I did an assignment once on hope in Marriage, investigating what Hope was- in a research context, and it was amazing to see how they discovered some of the different elements. 

Love has been a recent attitude changer in the last, well, this year... And Faith... while I kn ow what it is to be faithful, (and loveing and Hopeful for that matter), It's been hard to define, so I am glad that the above verse expands on each word to help us see more of the fullness of it all. 

Pretty awesome!
