What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
1 Corinthians 13 - "The Greatest Gift is Love" Jesus was know for love, we are to be like Jesus. So replace the word Love in the reading with Jesus and see how he was love. Then read it again and replace love with your name and see where you imitate Jesus or where you are lacking. It is my grounding and my inspiration!! Enjoy
