1 Corinthians 13:11 -- On Learning and Loving

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
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.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
1 Corinthians 13:11


I like the comparison to growing up here, because spiritually we have a long way to go. We're still learning a lot of basics. I also love the promise that things will be clearer in time, and that we'll be able to understand it all rather than just catch glimpses of the possibilities. :)

And then, a hint about what to focus on in life, as we move towards those possibilities. All good things, but charity (the pure love of God) is the most important, and something that it can never hurt to focus on. Let's work on that today. :)
