Love Believes All Things
" When I stand before my God, I hope he'll say of me that I've loved too many, rather than too few."
Paul insists that love believs all things. Love believes in people. It can see the potential in them. It believes that God can take the most unattractive and unworthy individual and turn that person into a masterpiece of beauty and grace. If love errs, it must err in the way of truthfulness and hopefulness.
Certainly we must be aware of the danger when we see it coming and become "wise as serpents". (Matt 10:16) Tough love may bet he best response to irresponsible and foolish people, but we can be too guarded, too wary and distrustful.
It doesn't do us any real harm to be hoodiwinked and defrauded. It's better to belive in someone and have your heart broken by them than to have no heart at all. "
"Love believes all things, hopes all things." I Corinthians 13:7
