"If I speak in the tongues of angels and of men, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I can prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains,
but do not have love,
I am nothing."
1 Corinthians 13
"Through our relationship with the Incarnation we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our familiarity with all mankind."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"This is how we know who are the children of God and who are the children of the Satan: anyone who does not do good is not God’s child, or is anyone who does not love their neighbor."
1 John 3:10
"At that time many will fall away, and betray and hate one another. And many false prophets will appear and lead many astray. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many will grow cold, but those who remain firm to the end will be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Matthew 24:10-14

Need little, want less, love more. For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.
Unless the Word blossoms into an active love in our hearts, we have no true life, and are nothing.
Repentance - forgiveness - thankfulness.
Have a pleasant evening.
