i've always liked this passage from the Bible. always have thought it was beautiful. it still is.
"Love is patient, Love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
Where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
Where there is knowlegde, 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."
and now when i read it, i suddenly understand it so much better. i want to believe that love conquers all. because You, and you, are love.
