Heya, just a quick thought popped into my mind so I'd like to share it with you guys I think it was a pretty nifty thought process.

Len brought up a question just yesterday about which was the greatest attributes to have, hope, faith, love (and a few others). I screamed out my favourite answer "love" as always, but I knew it was backed up by scripture.
1st Corinthians 13:13 says "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

But i've been thinking about it somemore with relation to God. And it's true, love is the greatest, v8-11 talks about how prophecies may cease, tongues may be stilled and stuff. But love is the greatest among them.

And isn't that true?
If God believed faith was the greatest, He would've had faith that we humans could make our way back to Him on our own.
If God believed hope was the greatest, He would've hoped that we would somehow make it back to Him.
Thankfully He believed LOVE was the greatest, and John 3:16 says that "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

For me personally, that meant a lot to me, sometimes people think I'm a fool for believing in that true love and I get a little down because I think that myself too sometimes. But hey, what I believe in may not be here yet, or it may not be the right time, but what I believe in faith will come to pass, for I believe in the greatest attribute of them all. And you know why?
I left out the beginning of verse 8. You want to know what it says? 1 Corinthians 13:8 "Love never fails." *smile*

Great post, Charles. :) It's been lovely talking to you till late hours of the morning for the past couple of days (and screw up my sleeping pattern in the process). Thank you for your insightful words, it's great having someone to talk to who can be so random and intelligent at the same time. :P

I wish I have the imagination to think of how a squaresocks will look like.

Love huh. I think it's quite sad that a lot of people do not use the right meaning of love. I was one of the victim sadly, but I am not using that word stupidly anymore... well, I've not been using it stupidly for the pass couple years.

Sorry, I didn't realise squaresocks would sound so unchristianly pornographic. Is this better now?
