True Love

I Corinthians 13:4-13 (NKJV)
4 Love suffers long and is 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.

Amor Verdadero

1 Corintios 13:4-13 (NVI)
4 El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. El amor no es envidioso ni jactancioso ni orgulloso.
5 No se comporta con rudeza, no es egoísta, no se enoja fácilmente, no guarda rencor.
6 El amor no se deleita en la maldad, sino que se regocija con la verdad.
7 Todo lo disculpa, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.
8 El amor jamás se extingue, mientras que el don de profecía cesará, el de lenguas será silenciado y el de conocimiento desaparecerá.
9 Porque conocemos y profetizamos de manera imperfecta;
10 pero cuando llegue lo perfecto, lo imperfecto desaparecerá.
11 Cuando yo era niño, hablaba como niño, pensaba como niño, razonaba como niño; cuando llegué a ser adulto, dejé atrás las cosas de niño.
12 Ahora vemos de manera indirecta y velada, como en un espejo; pero entonces veremos cara a cara. Ahora conozco de manera imperfecta, pero entonces conoceré tal y como soy conocido.
13 Ahora, pues, permanecen estas tres virtudes: la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Pero la más excelente de ellas es el amor.

I Love Your Testimonies

Psalms 119:113-120 (NKJV)
113 I hate the double-minded,
But I love Your law.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!
116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.
118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Me Encantan Tus Testimonios

Salmo 119:113-120 (NVI)
113 Aborrezco a los hipócritas,
pero amo tu ley.
114 Tú eres mi escondite y mi escudo;
en tu palabra he puesto mi esperanza.
115 ¡Malhechores, apartaos de mí,
que quiero cumplir los mandamientos de mi Dios!
116 Sostenme conforme a tu promesa, y viviré;
no defraudes mis esperanzas.
117 Defiéndeme, y estaré a salvo;
siempre optaré por tus decretos.
118 Tú rechazas a los que se desvían de tus decretos,
porque solo maquinan falsedades.
119 Tú desechas como escoria a los impíos de la tierra;
por eso amo tus estatutos.
120 Mi cuerpo se estremece por el temor que me inspiras;
siento reverencia por tus leyes.

What Does The Lord Require?

Micah 6:6-8 (NKJV)
6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly, To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
