1 Corinthians 13

Love
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. 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. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

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. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 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 childish ways behind me.Now we see but a poor 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.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

all's well that ends well

i'm still wishing

i'll keep on hoping

i'll wait right here

wherever you may go

wherever you may run

because i believe in you

in the end all's well that ends well

ironic

isn’t it ironic?

we ignore the ones who adore us

adore the ones who ignore us

love the ones who hurt us

hurt the ones that love us

my dad's vision

my dad always tells me that we have a high pride

never sell our pride to anyone or anything

he told me not to take back our words

what's done it is done

we must take the consequences whatever it is

that is why i never take my words back

even if i wanted to

even if i really wanted to
