1 Corinthians 13

1 Corinthians 13:
"1 If I speak in the tongues[a] 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,[b] 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."

This is our code. My mom commonly calls this the 'love chapter'! After reading it through, it easy to see why! LOL I chose this as our code, or motto, because Love is what binds all of us humans together. Without it we wouldn't be able to function.
It is scientifically proven that if you do not give a new born baby attention or love the baby will die. So you see, we all need love.
Almost all of you should know who Adolf Hitler was. He was the man who hated Jews. We overtook almost half of Europe. When he was a little boy his father was extremely demeaning and mean to him. Around the age of 18 young Adolf ran away from home. When he eventually got to a place of power...well, I think that you can just figure out what happened. But just think, if only his father had shown him love and assurance the holicost may never have happened.
Love is in every fiber of our being. How are you using yours?
