My greatest gift to all. May you take it to your hearts.

1 Corinthians 13; New King James Version (NKJV) 

The  Greatest Gift

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² 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. ³ 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.
 

⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 

⁸ 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. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
¹¹ 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. ¹² 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.
¹³ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

What is the meaning of success?

What is the meaning of success?  Is it just about money?  Is the very rich, bitter, miser, who thinks only of himself and of money, generally considered a success?  Can we be a success without a lot of money?  Can we be a success without love?  Can we be a success without being kind, giving, caring, thoughtful, and considerate?  Can we be a success without intelligence, without wisdom?  Can we be successful without being happy?  Can we be a success without God?  I would love to discuss this topic.  I think for many of us the meaning of success is not clear, and often a mistaken notion.  I wonder how many of us think about success, or about the importance of being successful, or about what we consider to be successful, or whether we are a success?  I wonder how many of us truly feel that we are a success?
