Love Is........................................

Love Is..............

And now I will show you the most excellent way....

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol.

If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have faith that moves mountains, but have not love, I am no-thing.

If I can give all I possess to the , poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain no-thing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the Truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 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.

For we know in part and prophesy in part. But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child.

When I became a (wo)man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor 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 fully known.

And now, these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love.

Corinthians 13

Love Is All That Is..............Happy New Year!
