1 Thessalonians 4:8 MSG
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.

The showers came and everything started growing again.
