1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (TNIV)

Love

    If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

====================

As I was reading Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (Chapter 16), I looked up this passage in the bible. The passage really struck me. We can all achieve our goals, be successful in our careers, gain knowledge and even do good deeds but still miss the point of life. If we do these things out of selfishness and vanity; not for God and others, we are NOTHING… we gain NOTHING. What matters is we do things out of Love.
