1 Corinthians 13

I'm still studying the book Crazy Love, the author, Francis Chan, challenged his readers to to read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 verses 1 through 3.
Then starting in verse 4 replace Love with Your Name... Like this, Angie is patient, Angie is kind. Then when you have done this through verse 7 ask yourself if these verses really describe you.  

1 Corinthians 13
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.


4______ is patient, _______ is kind. _______ does not envy, ______ does not boast,  ______ is not proud. 5 _______is not rude, ______ is not self-seeking, ______ is not easily angered, ______ keeps no record of wrongs. 6 ______ does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7________ always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails... 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Life is about loving God and all who are made in His image. 

 Matthew 22:37-38

37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
