If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 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 do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:1-7, NRSV)
Do you see you can do many things…
Speak in tongues of mortals and angels.
Have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge.
Have all faith to move mountains.
I can give away everything and hand over my body, but if I do it to boast then I’ve missed the mark.
You see anything is possible, but if not done for the right reason, it is just noise, or nothing, and a waste of time.
But if we love. and Love leads us to do these things, then we have all things through Him who gave us His love so that we can love.
You see we are nothing without love.
