- 3:30about
- 3:31this
- 3:31passage
- 3:31of
- 3:32Scripture
- 3:32that
- 3:32apply
- 3:32to
- 3:33your

- 3:34The
- 3:34first
- 3:35was
- 3:35about
- 3:35love
- 3:36going
- 3:36beyond
- 3:36labels.
- 3:37Paul's
- 3:38message
- 3:38here
- 3:38is
- 3:39radical.
- 3:40Nothing
- 3:41can
- 3:41separate
- 3:41us
- 3:41from
- 3:42divine
- 3:42love.
- 3:42Not

- 3:47in
- 3:48our
- 3:49almost
- 3:4934
- 3:49years
- 3:50of
- 3:50marriage.
- 3:51But
- 3:51I've
- 3:52learned
- 3:52that
- 3:52real
- 3:52love
- 3:53isn't
- 3:53about
- 3:53perfection.
- 3:54It's
- 3:54about
- 3:55presence.
- 3:57We've
- 3:57watched
- 3:58our
- 3:58three
- 3:58children
- 3:59grow,
- 3:59grow

- 3:59authentic,
- 4:01wonderful
- 4:01adults.
- 4:03Divine
- 4:03love
- 4:04comes
- 4:04in
- 4:04celebrating
- 4:05our
- 4:06uniqueness
- 4:06and
- 4:06their
- 4:07uniqueness,
- 4:08rather
- 4:08than
- 4:09demanding
- 4:10some
- 4:10sort
- 4:10of
- 4:10conformity.
- 4:12Here's
- 4:13another
- 4:13point
- 4:13to
- 4:13ponder.
- 4:14It's
- 4:14about
- 4:14resistance
- 4:15as
- 4:15affirmation.
- 4:17This
- 4:17text
- 4:18mentions
- 4:18various
- 4:19forms
- 4:19of
- 4:19opposition.
- 4:20Trouble,
- 4:21hardship,
- 4:21persecution.
- 4:23You
- 4:23know,
- 4:25things
- 4:25happen
- 4:27like
- 4:27when
- 4:27the
- 4:27teams
- 4:28I
- 4:28like
- 4:28to
- 4:28support,
- 4:28the
- 4:29Pacers
- 4:29and
- 4:29the
- 4:29Colts,
- 4:30they
- 4:30face
- 4:30tough
- 4:31opponents
- 4:31who
- 4:32want
- 4:32to
- 4:32defeat
- 4:33them.
- 4:34And
- 4:34resistance
- 4:35often
- 4:36reveals
- 4:36your
- 4:37true
- 4:37strength.
- 4:37You
- 4:37get
- 4:38better
- 4:38when
- 4:39you
- 4:39go
- 4:39against
- 4:39a
- 4:39tough
- 4:40opponent.
- 4:41And
- 4:41here's
- 4:41the
- 4:42progressive
- 4:42spin
- 4:42on
- 4:43this.
- 4:43These
- 4:43challenges
- 4:44aren't
- 4:44tests
- 4:45from
- 4:45God.
- 4:45They're
- 4:45opportunities
- 4:46to
- 4:46experience
- 4:46a
- 4:47deeper
- 4:47connection
- 4:49to
- 4:49God,
- 4:49deeper
- 4:50connection
- 4:50to
- 4:50others,
- 4:52and
- 4:52understand
- 4:52that
- 4:52love
- 4:53never
- 4:54fails,
- 4:55even
- 4:55the
- 4:55midst
- 4:56of
- 4:56great
- 4:57adversity.
- 4:59Another
- 4:59point
- 4:59to
- 5:00ponder
- 5:00is
- 5:00about
- 5:01revolutionary
- 5:02inclusivity.
- 5:03Paul
- 5:04says
- 5:04that
- 5:05nothing
- 5:05living
- 5:06or
- 5:06dead,
- 5:06angelic
- 5:07or
- 5:07demonic,
- 5:08can
- 5:09separate
- 5:09us
- 5:09from
- 5:09God.
- 5:10This
- 5:10is
- 5:11a
- 5:11picture
- 5:11of
- 5:11radical
- 5:12inclusivity.
- 5:14This
- 5:14isn't
- 5:14about
- 5:14some
- 5:15personal
- 5:15salvation
- 5:16because
- 5:16God,
- 5:17it's
- 5:17about
- 5:17a
- 5:17love.
- 5:18This
- 5:19isn't
- 5:19just
- 5:19about
- 5:20personal
- 5:20salvation,
- 5:21but
- 5:21it's
- 5:21about
- 5:22love
- 5:22so
- 5:22vast
- 5:23it
- 5:23transforms
- 5:24how
- 5:24we
- 5:24see
- 5:25everything
- 5:25and
- 5:26everyone.
- 5:27It's
- 5:28like
- 5:28when
- 5:29I'm
- 5:29watching
- 5:29my
- 5:29granddaughters
- 5:30play
- 5:30and
- 5:30have
- 5:31some
- 5:31fun
- 5:31together.
- 5:32I
- 5:32have
- 5:32unconditional
- 5:33love
- 5:33for
- 5:34them,
- 5:34and
- 5:34they
- 5:35seem
- 5:35to
- 5:35have
- 5:36unconditional
- 5:37acceptance
- 5:37of
- 5:37others.
- 5:38And
- 5:38that
- 5:39kind
- 5:39of
- 5:39reminds
- 5:39me
- 5:40of
- 5:40God's
- 5:41boundless
- 5:42love.
- 5:44Here's
- 5:45today's
- 5:45action
- 5:46step.
- 5:46Choose
- 5:47someone
- 5:47who
- 5:47society
- 5:48often
- 5:48marginalizes
- 5:49or
- 5:49excludes
- 5:50and
- 5:51take
- 5:51a
- 5:51concrete
- 5:52step
- 5:52to
- 5:52show
- 5:52them
- 5:53that
- 5:53they're
- 5:53valued
- 5:53and
- 5:54loved.
- 5:55Maybe
- 5:55it's
- 5:56a
- 5:56simple
- 5:56conversation.
- 5:58Maybe
- 5:58it's
- 5:58some
- 5:58sort
- 5:59of
- 5:59a
- 5:59gesture
- 5:59of
- 6:00support.
- 6:01Maybe
- 6:02it's
- 6:02speaking
- 6:02up
- 6:02against
- 6:03discrimination.
- 6:05Remember
- 6:05that
- 6:05nothing
- 6:06can
- 6:06separate
- 6:07us
