13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the…

17On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.18Now Bethanywas less than two miles[b]from Jerusalem,19and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
21“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.22But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”

7Dear friends, let us love one another,for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of Godand knows God.8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Soninto the world that we might live through him.10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved usand sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.11Dear friends,since God so loved us,we also ought to love one another.12No one has ever seen God;but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13This is how we knowthat we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his…

21 Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling-place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death”[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved”
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no…

Luke 6:27-30
Lord, you vowed that when I woke tomorrow
I would see amazing things unfold,
Yet my eyes are misted up with sorrow
And the sights I see are dark and cold.
Lord, you said that my imagination,
Couldn’t contemplate what was to be,
That my wildest dreams could never fashion
All your spirit had in store for me.
Where are all those promises so precious?
Where’s the Father’s strong protective hand?
Where’s the ever-present love of Jesus?
Where’s the grace in which I hoped to stand?
Where’s the Lord who said he’d never leave me?
Where’s the Spirit that he said he’d send?
Where’s the freedom that he said he’d give me?
Where’s the God who said he’d be my friend?
Precious child I’m standing right beside you,
And in love I’m holding out my hand.
There are things your spirit must attend to
If in grace and power you want to stand.
I can dry your bitter tears of sorrow,
In your life my hopes and dreams display
But if you would see great things tomorrow,
You must consecrate yourself today.
