In the name of Love

One man come in the name of Love
One man come and go

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 not have love,
I am nothing

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flame, but have not love,
I gain nothing

One man come, he to justify
One man to over-throw.
~U2 Pride, 1 Corinthians 13

It's not about how much you know, or how right one is.
Sure it's important to get the facts right, but if you can't handle the person in love, then nothing's accomplished.
Sure it's important to speak for the truth, but if you can't package your argument in love, then it's pointless.

So sometimes in winning an argument,
By straightening the ideology,
By uncovering flaws, shortcomings, misconceptions and lack of understanding,
By proving your point,
You move in the opposite direction into pointlessness, push the person away bit by bit, create little walls.
All for the sake of a sense of personal accomplishment.

It's always about the people. the heart. the human.
Not about you and your pride,
Or how right and truth-seeking you are.
But about the people.

I have to learn to move in love and not in pride
For God shares his glory with no man.
