II CORINTHIANS 13

Love is ever patient, ever kind;
Still has the patience after having said
something a hundred times.
Its greatness outlast a lifetime.

Love is never jealous or envious.
It doesn't try to compete with
other persons.

Love is never boastful, never conceited
nor proud.
It does not show off; it does not
emphasize its own achievement.
It is never too proud to ask for
forgiveness.

Love never says, "without me, you would
be nothing".

Love is never rude or ill-mannered.
It sees each person as a unique creation
of God...
A very beautiful creation of God.

Love is never selfish.
We exist for each other as we exist
for God.
Only in this way will we see ourselves.

Love is not quick to take offense.
It does not say,"this is the last time;
if you do that again..."

It easily forgives and persists.
It does not keep a record of wrongs.
It can forget; it allows a fresh start.

Love never weighs one down with
prejudices nor accusations;
never does it choke of words said
in anger;
never does it counter one wrong
with another.

Love is not happy with evil,
but is ecstatic with truth.
It does not cover up truth.
It clarifies, exalts and it forgives.

Love does not sell the truth just to
obtain peace.
There's nothing Love cannot face.
It can love in cirscumstances
it cannot change.
It can face the inevitable.

Love has limitless hope.
It never gives up hope for it firmly
believes in God's powerful and
unchanging love.

Love endures everything.
It can build the impossible.
It could bear the unjust and when
everything in life seems to topple down,
Love will bloom like a flower above
the ruins.

Love will never come to an end.
