1 Corinthians 13

Read 1 Corinthians 13 slowly, once or twice. Then sit with this:

Read slowly through love's qualities and put your own name in their place. Where does it ring true, and where do you need God's patient kindness most?

Three questions for the group

1. Read 1 Corinthians 13 aloud, slowly. Which word or phrase stays with you?
2. What tally have you been keeping, perhaps for years?
3. What do you know only in part about God, and how might that partial knowledge be enough for today?

Questions 2 and 3 are personal: share only what you want to share.

Close with a minute of silence, then pray in your own words.
