When difficulties come into our lives it's very easy to focus on ourselves and our hurt and lose sight on the things that matter. Love calls us to faith and hope and believe that even if all else fails, we are loved and will be cared for. And likewise, too often we believe that hard times and difficulties are because of our decisions when often they are put in place to show us our need for God and his provision. It's not easy but love isn't focused on what's easy or expedient, it's focused on God.
