Love

Memories of the last night in Germany with folk full of love.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal"

I've never managed tongues and percussion is not something I'm able to play.....

"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 have not love, I am nothing."

I'm certainly not clever and my faith is weak....

"If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing."

I can't give all I have, I'm need for myself. I can't take the heat.....

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."

These I struggle with.....

"It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. "

I desire so much to leave behind those wrongs from the past.....


"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Oh how I desire to much to rejoice always.....

"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. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 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 childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor 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.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

Love is what I want to give, but right now, its what I need.......
