So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

1.COR. 13-14

So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.

FATHER, PLEASE SEND ME THE HOLY SPIRIRT TO LIVE LIKE THIS!

13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

4-5The one who prays using a private "prayer language" certainly gets a lot out of it, but proclaiming God's truth to the church in its common language brings the whole church into growth and strength.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES-FATHER, PLEASE FILL ME UP WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT!

18-19I'm grateful to God for the gift of praying in tongues that he gives us for praising him, which leads to wonderful intimacies we enjoy with him.

FATHER, PLEASE GRANT ME YOUR GIFT OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES!
