“Love hopes all things.”
What if this love doesn’t hope to
get all things from the loved,
but what if it hopes for the loved:
for them to receive God’s love
just as we, the lovers,
have felt God’s love.
We hope in this love
from God, upon us.
And it is love,
to feel no difference between
ourselves
and the ones we’re loving,
to be quickened at the thought of
another’s good,
and grieved at the sight of their
suffering, making it our own,
to have as much expectation that
God’s love will keep on working
in others as in us.
