LOVE - Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!
As I read through 1 Corinthians 13 this morning, LOVE has a different spin on things. Along with 7 other ladies, I am in a Small Group "Live Out Your Calling" - Purpose Driven Life. As we learn how great God's love is for us, this famous verse in the bible is on such a deeper level for me.

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.

-- 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13
