F A I L S Fails⇢ let down, forsake, fade, give up • DEFINE IT: Love never fails – it does not  throw in the towel when things get hard, dwindle over time, or disappoint. Love is constant and loyal. Love withstands all things. • LIVE IT: In moments when it seems easier to pull back or stop loving someone, remind yourself of all the good and joyful times you've had with that person. By simply reminding yourself of these moments, often times it gives us the strength to stay loyal and constant in the more difficult moments. So next time someone annoys you or hurts you, respond to them in kindness and offer grace. • VERSE: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
D O N ' T • D O • I T “Follow your heart.” What a common phrase in our culture. Anytime I hear that phrase, I want to scream, “NO, DON’T DO IT!” I have such a strong reaction because I’ve been let down by my heart way too many times. I don’t trust or follow my heart anymore. • How many times have I done something that went against my morals and my core beliefs? How many times have I done something that I said I would never do? Unfortunately, I must admit that my answer is “Often—I do those things often.” Our hearts go against us because the root of our heart is sinful. • But don’t be discouraged by this! God, who is perfect and all-knowing, promises to help us, guide us, and direct us, so we don’t have to follow our heart. We have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, and we get to follow the Holy Spirit as He guides us. And let me tell you, He is the best guide we could ever want! He knows us better then we do, He knows what is “around the corner,” He looks out for our best interest, He is so for us, and He loves us! What more could you want in a guide? • Don't follow your heart; follow God's precious heart! • 📸 : @laurennataliephotography
WORSHIP "I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody I raise a hallelujah, Heaven comes to fight for me" • I love these lyrics from Bethel's song Raise a Hallelujah! Worship is powerful. As believers, it is both our weapon and shield against the enemy. In moments of uncertainty, fear, unbelief, frustration, and anger worship reminds us of the truth and points us to Jesus!
P E R S E V E R E S Perseveres⇢ to persist, maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, continue steadfastly • DEFINE IT: Love ALWAYS perseveres means that love doesn’t quit or give up- ever. Love lasts. Love is not a fleeting romance or a fading feeling. During good times and bad, the love of God’s people endures the challenges of life and remains steadfast to God and each other. • LIVE IT: Living it means loving others by serving them even when you don't feel like it, were hurt by them, or you don't like the person. Love is an action- love does. • VERSE: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
T I M I N G Trust in God's timing. He is never early and never later; His timing is perfect. It's better to wait a while and have things fall into place than to rush and have things fall apart. • God is perfect. God's love is perfect. God's ways are perfect. God's timing is perfect.

H O P E S Hopes⇢ to expect with confidence, trust, eagerly await • DEFINE IT: Love always hopes – it believes and is confident in the goodness of others. It gives others the benefit of the doubt and it reassures others of the faithfulness of God when they can't see it themselves. • LIVE IT: Have you ever been let down by a friend or family? Or maybe you've had a really close friend suddenly become distant without any explanation? In these situations, it's sometimes hard to take our eyes off our hurt, but that's what love does. When a sibling says something that you take as hurtful, choose to give them the benefit of the doubt. If someone close to you keeps on disappointing you, don't give up on them. When a friend is hurting and it's hard for them to find hope in a situation, be the one to remind them that there is hope in God! • VERSE: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

L O O K • U P I recently went to another country and one of my favorite aspects of traveling is people watching! I'm fascinated by: new cultures, how people interact, how they go about their daily lives, what's "normal" for them, the little differences in customs. • Then it hit me, why don't I "look up" and notice the people, families, and communities when I'm back at home? They have stories too. We need to look outside of our busy lives and make it a priority "to see" the people around us: walking down the halls of school, sitting a few cubicles over from us, in line at the grocery store, sitting at the booth behind us at In-n-Out. What if we looked for moments to say hello to a stranger and engage in a conversation? • Can you imagine the impact that would have not only in these people's lives, but in our lives as well? Join us! Let's make it a priority to "look up" and go about our daily lives striving to see, know, and engage with those around us!
A L W A Y S • T R U S T S Trust ⇢ believe in, one in which confidence is placed, reliance on, dependence on • DEFINE IT: Love always trusts means we will not be suspicious of the ones we love. We will be slow to believe any damaging news concerning the loved one and will ALWAYS give the benefit of the doubt. Whatever the situation, love is ready to trust. To trust someone means that you are "ever ready to believe the best" of him or her. • LIVE IT: When your mind starts to doubt and assume the worst of someone, you must stop and refocus your mind to believe in one another, setting suspicion aside and extending unconditional love. • VERSE: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
