And if I have the gift of prophesy, all-wisdom and great faith but without love, I am nothing.

Lailah Gifty Akita
About This Quote

This quote is about the concept of love, not the idea that the gift of prophesy is useless without love. Love is the foundational element upon which spiritual guidance can be built. Successful spiritual guidance is about recognizing love in others, and then giving it away.
