LOVE

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.

1 CORINTHIANS 13

     And, so it is...and, so love is the foundation of the Bible, of our holy Father's reason for creating mankind, of his decision to come to live upon this earth in human form and go through an agonizing death upon that cross, of all our blessed Father's actions now and forever.  Keep this in your heart, but share it every minute of every hour of every day.  Is not love the reason, the power, the gift of our almighty and most loving Father.  There has never been created before, now, nor in the future a person he has not loved.  Yes, he loves Hitler...yes, he loves Judas...yes, he loves us all without condition.  It is where we direct our love, the importance we put on worldly riches, and the hate of others and self pride we exhibit that he does not love, saddening him deeply.  

     Yes,  my brothers and sisters, you can make a difference simply and powerfully by your love of our Father and his son, our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, also, each and every person he has so lovingly created.  Love, unconditionally, just as you are loved unconditionally.  Show that love, compassion, forgiveness that his holy spirit fills you with.
