1 Corinthians 13
Verses 1-3 All you need is love
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not 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 have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Verses 4-7 Love changes everything
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It is not rude, 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.

Verses 8-13 Love is the greatest thing
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 perfection comes, the imperfect 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 childish ways behind me.
12 Now we see but a poor 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

One of our greatest needs as human beings is to be loved. We all need love.
We need to know that we are important to somebody, that somebody truly cares about us, wants us, and accepts us unconditionally.
The good news from God’s Word is that somebody does.
To know Him is to find release from the crippling effects of feeling unloved.
Love is one of the warmest words in the English language, and that
God is love is one of the most sublime, uplifting, and reassuring truths known to mankind.
Love is His nature. It is not merely a friendly attitude He projects.
It is the essence of His being. He is always going to act toward us in love because He cannot do otherwise.
Love is the way He is.
