“Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.” ― John R.W. Stott If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didnt love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy and if I understood all of Gods secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didnt love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didnt love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealousy or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Three things will last forever---faith, hope and love---and the greatest of these is love. Let love be your highest goal! I Corinthians 13:1-7,13, 14:1 NLT For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NLT The truth of Gods love was given to us on the Cross by the strength of Jesus to endure it and the power to overcome it by His Resurrection.
