Sojourners Verse and Voice – 11 July 2022

Verse of the day
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Voice of the day
Love won’t be tampered with, love won’t go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other. Throw it in the garbage and it springs up clean. Try to root it out and it only flourishes.

– Louise Erdrich, The Bingo Palace(1994)

Prayer of the day
Creator, thank you for the persistence of love. May we embody love’s unending spirit.
