\u201cWithout Love\u201d (#53)<\/p>\n
Lord, as Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians 13, even if we are able to do and know all
\nThat there is, if we do not do it in love, then it is worth nothing at all.
\nYou show us the example of how to live this way-your love for us is reason for all You do
\nIn our lives. Time and again You show us Your love through our lives and Your Word.
\nLove does not seek after itself, nor does it proudly boast.
\nLove does not envy or get easily angry, qualities seemingly ignored by most.
\nLove treats no one rudely, and is always patient and kind.
\nLove delights in the truth, and keeps no record of wrongs on the mind.
\nThe Bible says that You, oh God, are love; you showed this to be true on the Cross.
\nIf we have that kind of love as You do, then losing our lives to serve You is no great loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
