THE PROPHETS IN OUR MIDST

Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote me the proverb,

The three most important things to have are faith, hope, and love,
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
If I Have Love. . .
If I could speak in Arabic, French, Dutch and Japanese;
if words rolled off my tongue in any language that I pleased,
but never spoke of love, they would not mean a single thing,
just like an empty thud or hollow bell that will not ring.
If I knew more than others, getting “A’s” on every test,
but never heard of love, I clearly would not know the best.
And if I could make mountains move by wishing it were so
but never wished for love, how could I ever really grow?
If I were kind and generous, donating to the poor,
my clothes, my toys, my games, c.d’s – all this and even more,
as long as I had love, I would not miss a single thing;
for nothing can compare with the true joy that love can bring.
For love is ever-patient; it will always wait for you.
Love is understanding, and won’t judge the things you do.
With love, I can’t be jealous, filled with envy, spite or greed;
with love, I will not brag or wish for things that I don’t need.
For love is never rude; it treats all others with respect.
It doesn’t hold a grudge or let me suffer from neglect.
It always tells the truth; it doesn’t cheat, deceive or lie.
Love always trusts, it always hopes; love always stays nearby!
