Love your neighbor as yourself. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes.
Love never fails.
This is how God loves us, and only if we will receive God's love and become channels of that love to others can we walk in the assurance that we are fulfilling the highest purpose of God in our daily lives.
