without love, it is nothing

oh where to begin. well I am currently sitting in history. weird place to blog, i know.

I think its funny how we think we know what is going on in our lives. we think we have control. we think we have the ability to pin point the outcomes of certain situations. but we dont... at all. i know i do this so much. in most situations i feel as though my way is better than everybody elses. its hard for me to realize that we are all equal. that we are not superior to others. Following Christ, i know that i have a different outlook on life than people i walk down the hallways with and its hard to convert back to...reality, i guess. I found this verse in a younglife book that im reading and i fell in love with it.

If I have that absolute faith which can move mountains
 but have not love, I am nothing.
Even if I give my body to be burned and have no love,
I achieve precisely nothing.

1 Corinthians 13

i think this is a perfect explaination of living. Even if we have all the faith in the world, faith that can MOVE mountains, if we do not love, it means nothing. nothing. not even a little bit.
if we sacrifice our body, which i believe is one of the most important things in our lives, but have no love, it means nothing. crazy, right? God really tells us here how incredibly important loving is.

Love is not an emotion, its a will.
