Same verse, a little further. Love/Charity..."hopeth all things..."
Webster's 1828 defines hope this way; A desire of some good, accompanied with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it or a belief that it is obtainable. Confidence in a future event.
This bloggers favorite description of hope; "Confidence in a future event." How's that for meeting each day with a positive attitude?
Real love always "hopes" for the best. Real love never gives time or effort to what "might" happen. Real love is not ashamed to hope. (Rom 5.5) Real love understands that "cast down (is) not destroyed." Real love knows that "persecuted (is not) forsaken" because believers recognize and by the Holy Ghost, grasp that "we are always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus." (I Cor 4.9,10)
Real love can "hope" with a passion to know that "because He lives, we may live too!"
