1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 But when completeness comes, what is, in part disappears.
11 When I was a child I talked like a child; I thought like a child; I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12 For now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is Love.

Now if I could only remember this every moment as well. It helps to clear through one’s mail and posts to find the gems and throw out the rocks. This is a gem.
