God let my compassionate affection be tolerant and kind


God let my compassionate affection be tolerant and kind. Make that my charity suffers long and would not be jealous. That she is kind and envies not, brags not itself, is not puffed up or not swells with arrogance. That I be a person possessing compassionate affection that reaches out. That I not behave unseemly and shall not continue to seek my own self-interest. That I not seek just self-concern, but seek rather the concerns of others. Let I not be easily provoked. That I think no evil, do not record harm and that I'll do not rejoice over injustice. Let me rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth.

Let me bare all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. Let charity or compassionate affection never fail.

Love will cure more sins than condemnation


"Love will cure more sins than condemnation."

- Henry Ward Beecher

Love transcends all the human Sense and Reason can reach to.
- Jacob Boehme

"If you're angry with a loved one, hug that person.
And mean it.
You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so.
It's hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you,
and that's precisely what happens when we hug each other."
- Walter Anderson

"Love is patient,
love is kind and is not jealous."
1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love does not brag and is not arrogant,
Love never fails"
1 Corinthians 13:5, 8

Jehovah, make that I can love many as a good Christian.
That I can make the meekness of Jesus my own
and that I may express concern.
Let me be a barrel of love.
Dutch version / Nederlands > Liefde zal meer zonden genezen dan veroordeling
