The story is told of a prominent Christian leader who was known by all in his town for his willingness and readiness to help those who were in need. This man was filled with so much love for others that he wanted them to develop that same love in all areas of their lives. I would be nothing, unless I loved others. I would gain nothing, unless I loved others.
Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude.
Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It does not keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Everyone who prophecies will stop, and unknown languages will no longer be spoken.
