1 Corinthians 13v1-3
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

In all that we do if we do it not out of love it is made pointless. Our actions will fade, our words will be forgotten but what is done out of love will last forever. Think about all the greatest lessons we learn in life. They are all rooted in love. And If we want to experience this love we must show it in all we do and in reverence to the ultimate love shown to us on the cross.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
