The greatest gift

"Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God." (1 John 4:7)

What is the use of having knowledge if you do not have wisdom? But what is the use of having wisdom if you do not have love? Perfect love comes from God. Love God with all your heart, mind and strength; and then you will possess everything as Saint Bonaventure wrote, "If you learn everything except Christ, you learn nothing. If you learn nothing except Christ, you learn everything."
