Love, love, first love

1/15/2019

If I speak 20 languages, or even 2
but let go of my first Love,
I am all noise.

If I call out false prophets
but let go of Love,
I am nothing.

If I hate what God hates
but have not love,
I am my own enemy.

If I endure patiently
& work tirelessly for God
but have forgotten my first Love,
I gain nothing.

If I take a vow of poverty or simplicity 
& sacrifice tangibly 
but have not love,
The Spirit is not upon me.

(1 Cor 13 | Rev 2)
