Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud;
love is not ill-mannered, or selfish, or irritable;
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth
love never gives up;
its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

love is eternal.
there are inspired messages, but they are temporary;
there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues,
but they will cease;
there is knowledge, but it will pass.

for our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages
are only partial;
but when what is perfect comes,
then what is partial will disappear.

1 corinthians 13:4-5

—The prodi?_gal son, hav?_ing claimed his own share of the inher?_i?_tance, lost every?_thing in this world and was deprived of all the joys of life: he lost his father?_land, his family??s sup?_port; he did not have a piece of bread left and was entirely alone: all the roads of this world were closed to him. —Tribu?_la?_tion and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil?? (Rom. ii. 9). And it is at this very point that the divine mir?_a?_cle is per?_formed — in the very con?_fine?_ment there is lib?_er?_a?_tion; in the very grief, salvation.

—Among us too there are peo?_ple who have reached the lim?_its of grief. it seems to them that destruc?_tion is all around them — let them be com?_forted. When man reaches this point when all roads are closed to him hor?_i?_zon?_tally, then the road upwards opens before him. If com?_pressed on all sides, water rises; so the soul, com?_pressed, impris?_oned, walled in by grief, rises to heaven.

—We are for?_tu?_nate if we detach our?_selves inwardly, in time and on our own ini?_tia?_tive, from the broad way of world?_li?_ness, if nei?_ther the com?_forts of life, nor riches, nor suc?_cess, fill our hearts and lead us away from that which is essential.??

— Fr. Alexan?_der Elchani?_nov, The Diary of a Russ?_ian Priest

for I the Lord your God am a jealous God

"A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend,

one human soul whom we can trust utterly,

who knows the best and worst of us,

and who loves us in spite of all our faults."
by--Charles Kingsley

"Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed." - St. Augustine

Fools believe that knowing brings them power
Such power-knowing is just another hollow
The only real knowing is Loving, for when
Mystery begins, only Love can follow.

---Andrew Harvey, Love's Glory: Re-creations of Rumi

NEVER SAY YOUR SORRY
ITS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS

IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND
THE ONE EYED MAN IS KING

ITS A GOOD DAY FOR DYING.

i haven't read all of love's glory, but of the words seem to echo alot of wisdom.

last one from it:

They prattle of Balance, of Moderation, of Decorum,

"You think you died long ago; you think you see?
Reason ate your eyes."

—He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love.??
Martin Luther King, Jr

The Power of Love
Love is the best antidepressant—but many of our ideas about it are wrong. The less love you have, the more depressed you are likely to feel.

—Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.??
Carl Gustav Jung

Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.
Matthew Henry

Psalm 23 (NIV)
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
