A new version of a familiar verse!

I am reading the A.D. Chronicles by Bodie & Brock Thoene, which is fabulous, and really liked the way one of the characters quoted 1 Corinthians 13.

"Love is kind.  And patient.  It doesn't envy and steal and claim the talents and possessions of another man.  Love keeps its promises even when it hurts.  Love does not boast or crow when it is victorious in battle.  Love heals the wounded rather than destroys the weak.  Love is not motivated by injured pride to destroy the life and work of another.  Love builds up.  It does not tear down.  Love isn't rude or thoughtless in actions or words.  Love is not ambitious or self-seeking or addicted to flattery.  It does not lie and claim it is somehow serving God.  It keeps no record of wrongs or plots ways to take vengeance.  Love is not easily angered, yet neither is it silent when confronting evil.  It does not accept or delight in the actions of an evil man that hurt the innocent.  Love does not defend a lie or accept the persecution of the innocent for the sake of remaining in control.  Love rejoices in the truth.  It always protects.  Always trusts.  Always encourages.  Always hopes.  Alway perseveres.  Yeshua teaches us that Love never fails.  God's love heals all wounds."  (Eighth Shepherd)

I am thankful that God speaks through his people.  Whether writing fiction or non-fiction, when you proclaim The Truth it resounds in the spirits of God's people.
