“And now I will show you the most excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
"Sadly, we often fall into the trap of wanting to be right rather than wanting to love well." (Jim Daly) I admit I sometimes fall into that trap. If we win every argument/debate but have not love, we are nothing...we win nothing! Speak the truth in love! (Ephesians 4:15a) Do everything in love! (1 Corinthians 16:14)
I’m so thankful and delighted that all of you faithfully demonstrate what LJ fellowship stands for...Loving J.O.Y. (Jesus. Others. You.). Thanks for putting Christ’s love into action through serving and meeting the international students’ emotional, physical, and spiritual needs!
I’d like to share some of my favorite quotes about love :).

Dear Heavenly Father, we’re forever grateful for Your extravagant love for us! Please fill our hearts with Your love and make it overflow from us to touch the lives of those we meet and draw them to You. Please help us to love others like Jesus does...unconditionally, selflessly, and sacrificially! In Jesus’s Name, I pray. Amen!
