"Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us.
Charity is expecting the best of each other."
- Marvin J. Ashton
This kind of love is the hardest.
But it is also the most important.
I'm still trying to infuse it into my life.
Every.
Single.
Day.
