A quotation from The Bible

If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
 
[Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον. καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι. κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυχήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 [JB (1966)]

It was even incorporated into a dream last night where I was using it to comfort 2 small children with their anxiety. Not sure who they were since there are no small children in my life. Perhaps the girl was my younger self? 💟 We thanked anxiety for alerting us to danger + gave evidence we were safe.

Yesterday was an emotionally exhausting day but I listened to my body + rested. Today is meal prep.

I spoke with someone Friday evening about her trauma coping skills and have been using one of her tips to thank my anxiety. She said it seems counterintuitive but works. She said anxiety just wants you to pay attention and make sure you’re safe.

I’ve been thanking my anxiety for alerting me to danger and giving it evidence that I’m safe and it has worked the past 2 nights. 😃
