• Strengthening yourself in God’s grace.

“Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbe-
comingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not
rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are
tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, NASB).
