Between Faith and Love And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three... (1 Corinthians 13: 13) It can be tempting to write hope off as weak. We often hear, I hope it doesnt rain. Using hope in this way is mere wishing with no power behind it. And yet, hope matters. Hope, love, and faith are closely related. Paul listed these specific three for a reason. They are the inseparable sister virtues, each one stronger through association with the other two. A faithful woman is all the stronger if she is also a hopeful woman; and the faithful, hopeful woman is all the more complete if she is also a loving woman. When used together, these beautiful qualities multiply their power and result in immense strength. Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, Hope supports it on the other. Experience says it must be, and love says---let it be. (Elizabeth Ann Seton)
