As I read back into one of my old posts, I came across this passage:



      God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love. Incour culture, even if a pastor doesn't actually love people, he can still be considered successful as long as he is   a gifted speaker, makes his congregation laugh, or prays for "all those poor, suffering people in the world" every Sunday. But Paul writes that even if "I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing (1 Cor. 13:2-3 ESV). Wow. These are strong and unmistakable words. According to God, we are here to love. Not much else really matters. 
                                                                                               - Crazy Love 


Over time - I tend to just forget it. I wanted to learn how to love others, but I just slowly forgot, overtime. When I read that verse the first time - it struck! Even if I have faith like Abraham, enough to be able to move mountains, but still have not loved, then I gain . . nothing. - Heaven
