Love 1 Corinthians 13:1 Photo Block

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but don't have love, I am only a banging gong or clanging cymbal." These are the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1. To put it in today's terms, it is like white noise. A heart full of love trumps endless words. It doesn't matter how loud, how right, or how powerful your words or actions. If you are not full of love, you will not reach anyone with your words or deeds. It is not how successful or educated or talented we are that makes others want to be with us. It is simply in our capacity to love them. Whether you are a mum, dad, teacher, manager, pastor, leader - your efforts to influence will not be fruitful without love. This word art consists of a hand-written Bible verse, with a sound wave which turns into the shape of a heart. The full spectrum of colours within the sound wave and Bible address add to the computerised sound studio contrast and adding emphasis to the distracting noise of those who speak meaningless empty words or make loud noises just to be noticed by others for their efforts. Remember, love also covers a multitude of sins (but that's another Bible verse altogether.)
