Love

1 Corinthians 13

New International Version (NIV)

13 If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

 

 

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for today. I am blessed to be here again. My love for you is everlasting. I am bound to you forever. You have taken up residence in the depths of my being. I am forever grateful that you reside in me. In my silence, I seek you. Today, we will reflect on the wonder of Jesus' birth. We will rejoice in the awe and humility that single magnificent gift. Your Son save us. Oh Come Let Us Adore Him. He is worthy to be praised and worshipped. Dear Lord, let your peace rule in our hearts. We love you so much. Today is a special day for me. We will have the results of her biopsy. I thank all of the people who had good thoughts and wishes. We are blessed to have people who care and pray for us. Prayers do help. God will see us through this trying time. Love will be my motivator. I will work in love. I will seek to keep my faith because I am in love. My love is what is important to me. I cannot give up hope and say that I am in love. I know that love always protects, always trust, always hopes, and always perseveres. I have to stay in love. Love for loves sakes. If I love, if I act because of love, then I am face to face with myself and I am no longer a child. What is left is faith, hope and love. But the greatest is love. I stand silently with love. I love you.
