love isn't seeing all of them and loving them anyway
because you can't- you can't see all of them, ever
you'll never know their whole soul
you can't love someone for what you see because they will
constantly, constantly show you new things
changing your impression and taking or giving your love
your idea of them cannot change your love for them because then
it is constantly shifting and changing
and if their soul and person and essence do not change-
why should your love for them?
but- faith, faith is the guarantee that because God loves all
God loves them, perfectly- and God knows them, perfectly-
faith is knowing that even if you doubt,
even if you see parts of them that are gross, that are broken
that get angry at you- even if you see vengeful and mean parts-
God knows their whole soul and loves them anyway
faith is not seeing all but knowing all is worth dying for
faith is seeing a certainity of hope that they are worth loving.
