Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, as noted in Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This suggests that faith is the foundation upon which hope is built. When one believes in God's promises and His character, hope emerges—a confident expectation of what is yet to come.

Love, on the other hand, is described as the greatest of these virtues because it embodies God's nature. In 1 John 4:8, it is written, "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." Love motivates actions and defines how believers interact with each other and the world, mirroring God's unconditional love toward humanity.

In essence, faith fuels hope, and both are expressed through love. Together, they form a triad that is essential for the Christian experience, encouraging believers to trust in God's plan, to look forward with confident expectation, and to act in love toward others.

“I thought the sky would always fall

each time I heard your name—

a whisper wrapped in silence,

a memory laced with blame.

I wore your ghost like perfume,

sweet and hard to breathe,

chasing every echo

of the way we used to be.

But days, like rain, kept passing,

softly washing you away—

and where once stood your shadow,

now stands only light and space.

I learned the art of quiet,

the healing in the ache,

how hearts can break wide open

and still not fully break.

You’re no longer my anchor,

nor storm I have to brave—

just a chapter in a story

that I no longer crave.

So here’s to silent partings,

to tears that cease to burn,

to finding peace in distance

and all I had to learn.

I loved you, yes, completely—

but now I love me more.

And though I close this ending,

I know what’s next is more.”

A vase full of roses for your foyer my love.
