The girls who come to our our campus often have no trust at all. They don't know who to trust. They don't even know what trust looks like. And before they develop a relationship with a counselor or anything else, the first thing that they develop a trust relationship is with a horse. And they stand with this horse with a brush, and they brush that horse. Most of them are afraid of that horse, they're from the city, it's a huge thing, they're afraid it's gonna squash them, and yet they brush that horse. And they begin to develop a trust for that horse as the horse develops a trust for them. We need to be trustworthy. We need to trust. [00:53:25] (47 seconds)  #HealingThroughHorses Download clip

Love does not delight in evil. We do not get excited when something bad happens to somebody else or when somebody puts that said person that we don't like in their place, we don't go, yeah, Way to go. That is not the way that we work. That is not the way that God intends us to be. He wants to infiltrate us completely with his love. He wants us to understand his love, to be bearers of his love to a world that so terribly needs to see examples of love. [00:49:10] (43 seconds)  #LoveOverVindictiveness Download clip

Don't be envious of somebody else. Don't be ugly. Don't talk trash. There is no space for it in the kingdom of God. Because in the presence of love, when all is said and done and we are in the glorious presence of our savior, faith and hope will be gone. But what will be left is love, and if we are not in tune with it, we will not be able to exist. [00:45:26] (34 seconds)  #NoRoomForEnvy Download clip

Because see, we hope for a future with God, with Christ. We have faith that Christ is doing what he says he's doing, but when we are in his presence, those two things have been fulfilled. And now, we live in the presence of love for eternity. And if you are living in dissonance with it, it is not where you will be. [01:00:03] (28 seconds)  #LivingInLove Download clip

When it talks about when completeness comes, when we are in the presence of God, when we see God face to face, we get to see him as he really is. That is when the world has passed away. Then comes verse 13. It says this, and now these three remain. For right now, in this life, this temporal world that we still live in, these things remain, faith, hope, and love.

Take a moment to look at love. Try it on. See how it looks because I'm gonna tell you, it's like we talked yesterday, like the the, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It's an old movie if you haven't seen it, But those pants fit each girl just perfect. Love will fit you perfectly. It will adorn you in a way that you will never be adorned because it is perfect.

But love never fails. Just because I have to say, no, you cannot do that, or no, that is not love, or no, that is not a behavior we accept, does not mean I don't love you. As a matter of fact, it shows my love. [00:56:35] (18 seconds)  #BoundariesAreLove Download clip

We have to take it all in. So he starts out saying that love is patient and love is kind. And I think in his mind, he's like, listen, you guys, I need to make sure you really understand what love is. And so to tell you what love is, I am going to actually tell you what love is not. That is a negative description to define something. It's a negative definition. So I'm gonna tell you what it's not so that you'll understand what it is because what I'm seeing and hearing is there's a lot of the nots going on in Corinth Corinth right now. I want you to listen to these. [00:43:09] (38 seconds)  #KnowWhatLoveIsNot Download clip
