I stand up on the bookshelf, trying to get a better look at which direction to take to avoid the lanterns. Looking around, I end up not paying enough attention to my footing, and with one wrong step I find myself falling off the other side of the bookshelf.
I land with a thud on a light shield connected between two shelves. I raise myself off my back and open my eyes......
......to find myself starring right into the light of a lantern. "Uh...Guys!" I say nervously into the empty air. By this time, I have already shifted away to a new section of the library.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have 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 do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
