- God is the originator of love. “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Without God, we would not be capable of loving. It is something he put in us.
- Love gives. When we were young, we loved others because of what they could do for us, what they could give us. We loved our siblings because they played with us.
- God values love. Love requires that we think of the other person; that we put their needs ahead of our own. The message the world gives is that we deserve it.
- Love listens. If we’re thinking of another person, we’ll want to know what they are feeling, what their needs are. We learn this by listening. When we pray, God is always listening.

7 [Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. In this one verse, Paul speaks of four different qualities of love, all linked to each other by the word rendered “all things.” This rendering, “all things,” seems to fall short of communicating what Paul is saying. Love does not, for example, believe everything.1...
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; ifthere are tongues, they will cease; if there isknowledge, it will be done away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as...
