(Please feel free to use this paraphrase. Credit: Rev. Murray Speer.)
Love lasts forever. Religions and philosophies will each come to an end; words and languages are not eternal; knowledge is fleeting. Only love is eternal.
For our knowledge can never be complete, and our religions and philosophies can never be perfect.
When all is said and done, these things will be gone, and only that which is complete and eternal will remain, which is love.
When I was young, I had the perspective of a youngster. Now that I am an adult, I understand the world differently.
Likewise, in this life our perspective is like looking into a distorted mirror, but when all is said and done we will be face to face. We can’t know everything in this life, but my faith tells me that if I have love, God will know me fully.* And when all is said and done, I will finally understand.
* From 1 Corinthians 8:3
