“Without Love” (#53)

Lord, as Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians 13, even if we are able to do and know all
That there is, if we do not do it in love, then it is worth nothing at all.
You show us the example of how to live this way-your love for us is reason for all You do
In our lives. Time and again You show us Your love through our lives and Your Word.
Love does not seek after itself, nor does it proudly boast.
Love does not envy or get easily angry, qualities seemingly ignored by most.
Love treats no one rudely, and is always patient and kind.
Love delights in the truth, and keeps no record of wrongs on the mind.
The Bible says that You, oh God, are love; you showed this to be true on the Cross.
If we have that kind of love as You do, then losing our lives to serve You is no great loss.
