A father wanted to read the paper, but was
being bothered by his little daughter, Vanessa.
Finally, he tore a sheet out of his magazine, on
which was printed the map of the world.  Tearing
it into small pieces, he gave it to Vanessa, and said,
"Go into the other room and see if you can put this together."
After a few minutes, Vanessa returned and handed
him the map correctly fitted together.

The father was surprised and asked how she had
finished so quickly.  "Oh,"she said, "on the other
side of the paper was a picture of Jesus. When I
got Jesus in the right place the world came
out right."

1 Corinthians 13
"The Greatest Spiritual Gift" 
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not
love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke 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 in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.

Thank you so much! I don't know what prompted you to write to me, but it must have been the Holy Spirit; the timing was too perfect to be a mere coincidence, receiving your message at the point that I really needed it. 
Hallelujah! 

May we all follow your example by building-up one another and showing Christ's love to our brothers and sisters.
