Love values and appreciates. Love penetrates to the hidden splendor of things. Love penetrates beneath the rough exterior, sees deeper than superficial faults and failings, sees deep down in the heart of man capacities for nobility, instincts for holiness, a hunger for God. Love casts none aside as worthless. It surrenders none as beyond redemption.
Love never despairs of anybody.
Love stands its ground. Love never yields. Love never surrenders. Love never fails or breaks. Love holds on when others faint and give way.
