Maturity

It's a joy to see someone that is young enough to be your daughter (just), having matured to the extent that you are going to them for wisdom in a situation. And you can see where they're ahead of you, and you need to catch up.

Amazon Bible review

 At first I thought - is this an elaborate metaphor?

Ahhhh... I see what's happened :-D 

Oddly, underneath it says "One person found this helpful"

Lord, help me to love

Help me to be patient,
Help me to be kind.

Don't let me envy,
Don't let me be boastful,
Don't let me be arrogant,
Don't let me be rude,
Don't let me be self-seeking,
Don't let me be irritable,
Don't let me keep a record of wrongs.

Don't let me find joy in unrighteousness
Help me to rejoice in the truth.

Help me to bear all things
Help me to believe all things
Help me to hope all things,
Help me to endure all things.

Help my love to never fail

Amen

(With apologies to the apostle Paul - 1 Corinthians 13v4-8)

Wow these things are hard!
