Bible Verses

“Love is patient and kind.  It isn’t jealous, boastful, proud, or rude.  It doesn’t insist on having its own way or become irritable or seek revenge or feel happy when someone else fails.  Love protects, trusts, and hopes.  It is steady and true, and it never, ever gives up.  Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love.”    (The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible: 1 Corinthians 13)

“John wrote, “Then I saw a new heaven and earth, and I saw the holy city coming down out of heaven like a beautiful bride.  I heard a loud voice speaking from the throne: ‘Now God’s home is with his people! He will live with them. They shall be his people, and he will be their God.  There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain.  He will make all things new! For he is the first and last, the beginning and the end.”  (The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible: Revelation 21)
