Why is love greater than faith and hope?

If faith, being poor, cannot help you, try love. 

Mark my words—

Let it be your one desire henceforth to show to the Lord that you love him. 

Let nothing be too great and nothing too little to do for his sake. 

Let love to him be your staff and strength, and you will find peace for your soul. 

Your very endeavour to prove your love to him will make you rich in the assurance of his love. 

It will fill your soul—it will save you utterly. 

Love for you also will be the law's fulfilment.

Behold how wondrous is his love! steeping you in blessing even while you are sacrificing all. 

Whatever you do for him comes back to you. 

He never takes—He only gives, fulfilling his own word that it is more blessed to give than to receive. 

Yet it is your love He looks for.
