1 Corinthians 13:4-7
♥Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant♥
♥it does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered♥
♥it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth♥
♥it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things♥

"The will of God will never take you
where the Grace of God will not protect you"
