The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the
more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s just
the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are
abandoned, why friendships don’t last. You might think
you love someone until you see the way they act when
they’re out of money or under pressure or hungry, for
goodness’ sake. Love is something different. Love is
choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of
their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is
deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice,
it’s seeing the darkness in another person and defying
the impulse to jump ship.
