Where there is no vision, the people will perish

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor 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 not dishonor others with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres…
