Meditation On Our Times (With Thanks to 1 Corinthians 13)

This I know
that in the times we are living
love will triumph over hate
love does not provoke or take into account wrongs suffered
it is gentle, patient and slow to anger
love does not yell, scream, nag or demand
it bears all things, believes all things
hopes all things, endures all things
it is not jealous or arrogant
it encourages and looks for the best
and does not magnify one by putting down another
love unites and does not divide
it is honest while at the same time respectful
it does not rejoice in unrighteousness
but rejoices with the truth
This I know
that in the times we are living
love will triumph over hate
and change will only come through love
it is faith that will heal the great divide
and from faith, hope will spring forth to refresh our land
but of the three, faith, hope and love
the greatest of these - is love

  1. Matt [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. It all hinges on love trouble is it is worldly love and not LOVE from our FATHER. The world doesn't love the Father and doesn't want to love his neighbor. It is all about the me me me and the love of the neighbor in the equation/verse is no where to be found in most cases.
