1 Corinthians 13: 3-8

Someone sent this to me. Lots of us know this... But lots of us don't really adhere to it... But it still remains beautiful specially when we are hopeful... :) Eid mubarak to everyone from Abu Dhabi...


Love is patient, it waits for you it does not rush
It does not move faster than it's ready to move,
It is patient, it holds, it allows itself to be taken care of because it is so precious,
It is not handled with out the utmost care because it is patient.
Love is kind, sweet, Loving, it does not become angry with rage,
It does not yell, abuse, walk out or disrespect,
It puts all things in front of itself, it is beautiful.

It treats with respect, it is sacrificing,
It will do anything to show how much there is.
Love is kind, Love does not envy, it can not,
and it does not turn an eye for another,

It does not admire others or what they have,
It does not spend more than it has, and it cherishes what it has already.
Love does not boast, it is humble, it admits when it is wrong,
It says sorry, it does not say the other is wrong,
It discovers what it was that could have been different.
Love is not proud, it is selfless and full of humility,
It does not say what is not true, it always speaks the truth.
Love is not self seeking, it constantly seeks to show Love and care
and sacrifices itself, Love is not rude it does not mock,
It is not sarcastic and does not make fun of or put the other down.
Love helps, it protects it does not laugh at or hurt the other.
Love is not self seeking instead it seeks to show love to the other,
It puts aside it's needs and wants for the other,
It sacrifices it's time, it knows how to treat the other,
It does not put every thing above the other.
Love is not easily angered, it does not blow up over small things
It does not put the other down,

It does not manipulate through sulking, yelling and slammed doors
It does show mercy and forgiveness,
It works through problems, Love keeps no record of wrongs,
It does not hold grudges, it does not bring up the past,
It does not hold things over the other, it does not manipulate with secrets,
It does not say I told you so, love does not delight in evil,
It rejoices in truth, it rejects evil and evil things,
It does not allow negative things to enter into itself,
It does not allow harsh words to enter in, it does not allow lies to come into itself.
Love protects from hurt and pain, love guards the heart of the other at all cost,
It stands up to those who attempt to hurt the other,
It will not allow other influences to come into it's realm,
for love is a private matter, it protects from itself.
It does not allow itself to say what is not true or to lead in false ways.
Love always trusts and trust is built through honesty.
Love does not question in hurtful ways, love does not make accusations,
Love always hopes, it does not give up, it is encouraging and full of joy,
and Love is filled with the hope of things to come.
Love is being together walking in the land of the unknown,
but knowing against all odds that there is hope, together.
Love always perseveres because it is strong,
because it is built on solid ground, because it is not taken lightly,
it perseveres because it deep and profound, it is something that is built over time,

Love never fails when it is true, when it is honest,
when it is as the Love that Christ showed, a Love with out any expectations
a Love that is never changing, a Love that completely sacrifices everything
you have for the other, a Love that lifts up and puts the other
before them, a Love that knows how to treat and respect the other,
a Love that knows no bounds.
Love will never fail, Loving the way Christ did and showing that Love to others,
that is the Love that will never fail.
