I do not think it will come as any surprise to those who know me well that I had to stop there! So I substituted my own name and started with ‘Nicky is patient’. The four verses (1 Corinthians 13:4–7) start with ‘love is patient’. Her aim was, one day, to get through the whole list. When she reached a characteristic that she knew was not true of her, she had to stop. For the word ‘love’ she would substitute her own name. I tried following the example of a missionary I once heard about who, each day, would read the four verses from today’s New Testament passage, which lists sixteen characteristics of love.
