Quote

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
1874-1936, British Author

The natural human mind tells that we can only love those which "deserve" love. It tells us that we can only forgive things that only hurt us a little. And the human mind tells us that hope will only get us so far.

The call of love is that it loves the unlovable. After all; God loves us and has sent His only Son to die for our sins. It does not get any more unlovable than us. You can believe that. You can have faith in that. You don't need to see it physically to believe it. And hope; hope keeps us moving forward. It is often the notion that there has GOT to be something better for us than our current status.

Keep love, faith, and hope alive!
