Can't get this out of my mind

1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. 13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

That's always been a favorite of mine. But recently I've thought about giving up childish ways and I think that if we thought more like children, faith, no matter the religion, would be easier to come by and life would be more wondrous. Plus, we'd have nap time. :)

Without Love there is nothing. We are created to want love, to give love and enjoy love. Love endures all things.
Like with the commandments, if you love God and your fellow man then each and every one of the other commandments are easy. And the love of a child is given freely with no expectations. If God did not have unconditional love, we’d all be toast.

So, love makes the world go ‘round. :o) luv you!
