With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought I'd share this kid's version of I Corinthians 13 which was in my son's new "big boy" Bible. (Side note to those of you who are thinking about buying your sons a Bible, I highly recommend the NIV Adventure Bible. Full of fun facts, bible verses to memorize and simple devotionals for their level. A great first full-length Bible).
"If I can speak beautifully and sing like an angel, but don't love others, I sound like a child banging on a piano or a screeching radio. If I'm very smart - almost a genius- but don't love others, I am nothing.
Love will stand in line and wait its turn.
Love looks for the good in others.
Love doesn't always want what others have and it doesn't brag about what it does have.
Love is polite, even when the other person is rude.
Love doesn't have to be first.
Love doesn't get angry over small things and it doesn't remember one reason after another to be hurt.
Love isn't happy when someone else fails but is happy with the truth.
Love will always protect others, especially those who are often picked on or teased.
Love always believes the best about others and is steady and true.
Love never gives up.
The Three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
