L.O.V.E

I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if i have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.
I may have all the gift of inspired preaching; I understand all the secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains- but if i have no love, I am nothing
I may give away everything I have and even give up my body to be burned, but if I have no love, this does me no good
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or coceited or proud
Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable
Love does not keep a record of wrongs
Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth
Love never gives up and its faith, hope and patience never fail
Love is eternal. There are inspired messages but they are temporary, there are gifts of speaking in strange tounges but they will cease, there is knowledge but it will pass.
For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired mssages are only partial but when what perfect comes, the partial will disappear
When I was a child, my speech, feeling and thinking weer all those of a child
Now that I am adult, I have no more use for childish ways
What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror, then we shall see face to face
What I know now is only partial, then it it will be complete- as complete as God's knowledge of me
Meanwhile these three remain; HOPE, FAITH and LOVE and the greatest of these is LOVE
