Yes, we want to be great…

And we want people to tell us we are great..

To tell us that we are smart, successful, beautiful, handsome…

What’s the modern term for it?

Ah the purity of little children!

But how quickly little children become little adults…

Ah, the power and greatness of the big-sister!

We all want greatness

Or in the permanent world of the kingdom of heaven?

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
