"Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures every circumstance." 1 Corinthians 13:7

If it is love- then love never gives up. It fights. It's continually hopeful as it endures every obstacle or circumstance. It proceeds down the road as it goes on that "bear" hunt. 

It looks around and may become afraid for a minute. As a young child sees something and quickly becomes afraid. She forgets the hand that gently holds her. She looks up and remembers she isn't alone. She smiles at him. He points out things around her and the beauty he has created for her enjoyment because he loves her. He takes her on a journey through hot deserts, lonely places and grassy fields. He never lets go of her hand. And as she clenches his hand tightly someone approaches. She looks up at her daddy and becomes timid and afraid. He quiets her and assures her, "it's okay." Her father allows this boy to come and now take her hand. The boy looks at her and they begin to walk together with their father. She loves him and he loves her. Their father, their creator is overjoyed of their presence together. He is glorified through them together as together they now praise his creation. They become excited by the smell of the flowers. They grab hold of petals and embrace the beauty. They look for others near them and bring them along their journey. They share their story with others and promise that although the journey is hard and long - they always have a hand firmly grasping theirs.
