Week 4 Day 1 Read again and again.

Rereading the bible consist of more than the act of reading, it consists of a desire to listen, asking God to speak and wanting to hear from God. We develop a hunger for God, a sensitivity to his voice, a inner calm/ peace and a ability to see Him. In exchange for this connect we need to set a time, outward silence, and develop an inner quiet (ideas from Charles Stanley).
The Unfailing Love: (1 Corinthians 13: 1-13)

What stands out for you in 1 Corinthians 13?
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Do you have questions about the verses? 
Here are some examples:
Why is love more important than tongues, prophecy, faith and sacrifice?
Why is love described in such concrete ways?
What is the significance of the three (faith, hope, love) that remain - why do these remain and others not?
