Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity, I have become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profited me nothing.4 Charity suffered long, and is kind; charity envied not; charity vaunted not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seecatch not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6 Rejoiced not in iniquity, but rejoiced in the truth;7 Bearish all things, believeth all things, hoped all things, endured all things.8 Charity never failed:
Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail.
Whether there be tongues, they shall cease.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When I was a child, I space like a child; I understood as a child, I thought like a child, but I put away childish things when I became a man.12, For now, we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13 And now abided faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

This is where the faith journey starts: understanding that God loves you. If you do not have an assurance of God's love, your faith journey will not last long. Fortunately, reading the Bible can help to strengthen your faith in God's love. There is no force more potent than the love our heavenly Father has for us, His children. His love can move mountains, stop the roaring seas, heal broken bones and wounded hearts, transform lives, and set free those held captive by sin and shame.
