Love is Patient

"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 in the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love NEVER fails." -1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the long course of rivers, the vast compass of the ocean, the circular motion of the stars... but they pass by themselves and don't even notice." -Augustine

"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine." -Psalm 33:18-19

'So you're at the toughest place in your life..How can you know that God is going to hold you together and bring you through? You know because there is a cross standing over history and it is looming over everything. It is the place where the Star Breather became the Sin Bearer, where the Universe Maker became mankind's Savior. And it is proof that God doesn't always change the circumstances, He did not change them for Jesus on that hillside outside of Jerusalem. But it IS proof that God always has a purpose in circumstances and that His purpose and His plan will always prevail and will triumph through any circumstances ." -Louie Giglio

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:28-31

"Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society." -George Washington

"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" -Proverbs 4:23
