love is.
love is a safe place of shelter
for it never stops believing the best for others.
Come home.
for it never stops believing the best for others.
Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.
Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run
Love is large and incredibly patient.[f]
Love is gentle and consistently kind to all.
It refuses to be jealous[g] when blessing comes to someone else.
Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. 5
Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated[h] or quick to take offense.[i] 6
Come home.
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You've done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender so will I
I can see Your heart
Eight billion different ways
Every precious one
A child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them so will I
Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You're the One who never leaves the one behind
