Love bears all things. Love knows that in the end, it will be vindicated by the One who is perfect love. This is viewed as foolishness by the unbelieving world. But to believe all things is the only way that love can be completely free to love without conditions, without limits, without distinctions. The future is bright because the past is forgiven.
Love endures suffering, hardship, persecution - all for the sake of the beloved.
The cross is the heart of love. The cross is stamped across this entire chapter. Love points to the cross and flows from it. This love lays down its life, not only for the friend, but also for the enemy. And He made His love known to us by sending His Son.
