LOVE and HOPE

LOVE and HOPE

LOVE is condensed from 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
[From Paul The Apostle – writer of the Corinthian Epistles (letters)]

LOVE . . .

Is very patient
Is kind

Is never jealous

Is never envious

Is never boastful

Is never proud

Is never haughty

Is never selfish

Is never rude

Does not demand its own way

Is not irritable or touchy

Does not hold grudges

Will hardly even notice when others do it wrong

Is never glad about injustice

Rejoices whenever truth wins out

Is loyal no matter what the cost

Will always believe

Will always expect the best

Will always defend

Love goes on Forever!

HOPE . . .
Looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst in them
Opens doors where despair closes them
Discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot be done
Draws its power from a deep trust in God and the basic goodness of mankind
“Lights a candle” instead of “cursing the darkness”
Regards problems, small or large, as opportunities
Hope cherishes no illusions, nor does it yield to cynicism
[Hope keeps your head above water when the storms around threaten to drown you
HOPE FLOATS] ~ * ~ Unknown
