I Cor 13: 1-3  ~
Even if I speak like angels.
Even if I have prophetic powers.
Even if I understand all mysteries. 
Even if I have all faith.
Even if I give away all I have.
Even if I deliver up my body to be burned.
If I do not have love for my husband who is wrapped up in his work/his world,
If I do not have love for my child who is headed down a destructive path,
If I do not have love for my family who treats me like I'm still a little kid, or worse yet---my family treats me like what I have to offer is not valued,
If I do not have love for my church who may be so principled driven & missing God,
If I do not have love for my world where God has placed me
I am nothing, I gain nothing.

So where does this speak to our world today?
For me,
If I do not have love for those who have walked out on me?
If I do not have love for those who "miss" me?
If I do not have love even when I grow a successful ministry?
I am nothing.

What do I want more than the LOVE of my God?
