A Gateway Emotion

Intermingled in purpose; hope, faith, and love become the catalysts of life. They are undefinable, and yet, undeniable: enhancing the realm of possibilities. They remain intangible and abstract: forming foundation stones that support our morals, and shape our destinies. Hope is a gateway emotion: a precursor to faith, that provides a pathway to happiness. And Hope is the spark that ignites desire's flame! Faith fills a void in our hearts, outside of ourselves. And that feeling of fulfillment, metamorphoses into love. Love is the pinnacle of emotions, the glue that binds humanity together. Nothing is more significant than love: for it's the one emotion God asks of us, and the first blessing He offers us.
