To See Him is to See Love

Quote from a reworded part of the Love chapter, 1 Cor. 13:

"LOVE DOESN'T WANT WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE.....

We don’t yet see things clearly. We are squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly just as He knows us!

But, for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation:

“Trust steadily in God;
Hope unswervingly;
Love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.”

My revision:

"Love is so enamored with God and others that it cannot be jealous because it is so happy for the one who received the gift; and is so content in the arms of the Beloved that it can be satisfied within the wait for what the good Giver chooses to give."

Me quoting myself. Can you do that?
