  that
• 1:10
  from
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  first
• 1:11
  day
• 1:11
  we
• 1:12
  heard
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  you,
• 1:12
  we
• 1:12
  haven't
• 1:13
  stopped
• 1:13
  praying
• 1:13
  for
• 1:14
  you,
• 1:14
  asking
• 1:15
  God
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  give
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  wise
• 1:16
  minds
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  spirits
• 1:17
  attuned
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  his
• 1:18
  will
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  so
• 1:20
  acquire
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  thorough
• 1:21
  understanding
• 1:21
  of
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  ways
• 1:22
  in
• 1:22
  which
• 1:22
  God
• 1:23
  works.
• 1:24
  We
• 1:24
  pray
• 1:24
  that
• 1:24
  you'll
• 1:25
  live
• 1:25
  well
• 1:25
  for
• 1:25
  the
• 1:26
  Master,
• 1:26
  making
• 1:26
  Him
• 1:27
  proud
• 1:27
  of
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  as
• 1:28
  you
• 1:28
  work
• 1:28
  hard
• 1:28
  in
• 1:29
  his
• 1:29
  orchard.
• 1:30
  As
• 1:30
  you
• 1:31
  learn
• 1:31
  more
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  more
• 1:32
  how
• 1:32
  God
• 1:32
  works,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  will
• 1:33
  learn
• 1:34
  how
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  do
• 1:35
  your
• 1:35
  work.
• 1:36
  We
• 1:36
  pray
• 1:37
  that
• 1:37
  you'll
• 1:37
  have
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  strength
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  stick
• 1:39
  it
• 1:39
  out
• 1:39
  over
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  long
• 1:40
  haul.
• 1:41
  Not
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  grim
• 1:41
  strength
• 1:42
  of
• 1:42
  gritting
• 1:42
  your
• 1:43
  teeth,
• 1:43
  but
• 1:43
  the
• 1:44
  glory
• 1:44
  strength
• 1:44
  that
• 1:45
  God
• 1:45
  gives.
• 1:46
  It's
• 1:46
  strength
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  endures
• 1:47
  the
• 1:48
  unendurable
• 1:49
  and
• 1:49
  spills
• 1:50
  out
• 1:50
  into
• 1:51
  joy.
• 1:52
  Thanking
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  Father
• 1:53
  who
• 1:53
  makes
• 1:53
  us
• 1:54
  strong
• 1:54
  enough
• 1:54
  to
• 1:55
  take
• 1:55
  part
• 1:55
  in
• 1:55
  everything
• 1:56
  bright
• 1:56
  and
• 1:56
  beautiful
• 1:57
  that
• 1:57
  he
• 1:58
  has
• 1:58
  for
• 1:58
  us.
• 1:59
  God
• 2:00
  rescued
• 2:01
  us
• 2:01
  from
• 2:01
  dead
• 2:01
  in
• 2:02
  alleys
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  dark
• 2:03
  dungeons
• 2:04
  and
• 2:04
  he
• 2:04
  set
• 2:04
  us
• 2:05
  up
• 2:05
  in
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  kingdom
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  the
• 2:06
  Son
• 2:06
  he
• 2:06
  loves
• 2:07
  so
• 2:07
  much.
• 2:08
  The
• 2:08
  Son
• 2:09
  who
• 2:09
  got
• 2:09
  us
• 2:09
  out
• 2:09
  of
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  pit.
• 2:10
  We
• 2:10
  were
• 2:10
  in
• 2:11
  agreement,
• 2:11
  got
• 2:12
  rid
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  sins
• 2:12
  we
• 2:12
  were
• 2:13
  doomed
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  keep
• 2:13
  repeating.
• 2:15
  Well,
• 2:16
  that
• 2:16
  ends
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  scripture
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  really
• 2:17
  just
• 2:18
  an
• 2:18
  encouraging
• 2:19
  bit
• 2:19
  of
• 2:19
  scripture
• 2:20
  there.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  let's
• 2:20
  get
• 2:20
  into
• 2:21
  a
• 2:22
  couple
• 2:22
  of
• 2:23
  points
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  ponder,
• 2:23
  teaching
• 2:24
  points
• 2:24
  about
• 2:24
  this
• 2:25
  passage
• 2:25
  here
• 2:25
  today
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  are
• 2:26
  going
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  be
• 2:27
  applicable
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  your
• 2:28
  life.
• 2:29
  First
• 2:30
  is
• 2:30
  this.
• 2:31
  Paul
• 2:32
  draws
• 2:32
  this
• 2:32
  incredible
• 2:33
  distinction
• 2:33
  between
• 2:33
  grim
• 2:34
  strength
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  glory
• 2:35
  strength.
• 2:36
  And
• 2:36
  I
• 2:36
  think
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  difference
• 2:37
  matters
• 2:38
  more
• 2:38
  than
• 2:38
  we
• 2:38
  realize
• 2:40
  so
• 2:40
  much
• 2:40
  what
• 2:41
  we
• 2:41
  hear
• 2:41
  in
• 2:41
  our
• 2:41
  culture
• 2:43
  and
• 2:44
  honestly
• 2:44
  in
• 2:44
  a
• 2:44
  lot
• 2:44
  of
• 2:45
  our
• 2:45
  churches,
• 2:46
  is
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  faith
• 2:47
  is
• 2:47
  about
• 2:47
  toughing
• 2:47
  it
• 2:48
  out.
• 2:49
  Pull
• 2:49
  yourself
• 2:50
  up,
• 2:50
  try
• 2:51
  harder,
• 2:52
  pray
• 2:52
  harder.
• 2:53
  White
• 2:53
  knuckle
• 2:54
  your
• 2:54
  way
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  holiness.
• 2:57
  That's
• 2:57
  really
• 2:57
  not
• 2:58
  what
• 2:58
  Paul
• 2:58
  says
• 2:58
  here
• 2:59
  at
• 2:59
  all.
• 3:00
  He
• 3:00
  says
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  strength
• 3:01
  God
• 3:01
  actually
• 3:02
  gives
• 3:02
  us
• 3:03
  spills
• 3:03
  into
• 3:04
  joy.
• 3:05
  That
• 3:05
  is,
• 3:05
  it
• 3:05
  doesn't
• 3:06
  drain
• 3:06
  you,
• 3:07
  it
• 3:08
  fills
• 3:08
  you
• 3:08
  up,
• 3:08
  it
• 3:09
  keeps
• 3:09
  you
• 3:09
  going.
• 3:11
  And
• 3:11
  that
• 3:11
  changes
• 3:11
  everything,
• 3:12
  doesn't
• 3:12
  it?
• 3:13
  Because
• 3:13
  it
• 3:13
  means
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  spiritual
• 3:14
  life
• 3:14
  isn't
• 3:15
  supposed
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  be
• 3:15
  an
• 3:15
  endurance
• 3:16
  test
• 3:16
  that
• 3:17
  you
• 3:17
  got
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  gut
• 3:17
  out
• 3:17
  or
• 3:18
  grit
• 3:18
  out.
• 3:19
  And
• 3:19
  so
• 3:19
  that's
• 3:20
  just
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  matter
• 3:20
  of
• 3:21
  willpower.
• 3:23
  Instead,
• 3:23
  it's
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  communal
• 3:24
  grace
• 3:25
  soak,
• 3:25
  sustained
• 3:26
  by
• 3:26
  something
• 3:26
  bigger
• 3:27
  than
• 3:27
  you
• 3:27
  kind
• 3:27
  of
• 3:28
  journey.
• 3:30
  Every
• 3:30
  week
• 3:30
  I
• 3:31
  have
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  cancer
• 3:31
  related
• 3:32
  podcast
• 3:33
  and
• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  talk
• 3:33
  with
• 3:33
  people
• 3:33
  who
• 3:34
  are
• 3:35
  kind
• 3:35
  of
• 3:35
  going
• 3:35
  through
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  unimaginable,
• 3:37
  dealing
• 3:37
  with
• 3:38
  cancer.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  can
• 3:39
  tell
• 3:39
  you
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  ones
• 3:40
  who
• 3:40
  find
• 3:40
  their
• 3:40
  footing
• 3:41
  aren't
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  ones
• 3:41
  who
• 3:41
  grit
• 3:42
  their
• 3:42
  teeth
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  try
• 3:42
  to
• 3:43
  gut
• 3:43
  it
• 3:43
  out.
• 3:44
  They're
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  ones
• 3:44
  who
• 3:44
  let
• 3:45
  themselves
• 3:45
  be
• 3:46
  cared
• 3:46
  for
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  let
• 3:47
  grace
• 3:48
  surround
• 3:49
  them.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:51
  they
• 3:51
  are
• 3:51
  filled
• 3:51
  up
• 3:51
  by
• 3:52
  their
• 3:52
  community,
• 3:53
  by
• 3:53
  love,
• 3:54
  by
• 3:54
  something
• 3:54
  that
• 3:55
  can't
• 3:55
  fully
• 3:55
  be
• 3:56
  explained.
• 3:57
  That's
• 3:58
  what
• 3:58
  we
• 3:58
  might
• 3:58
  call,
• 3:59
  and
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  would
• 4:00
  call
• 4:01
  glory,
• 4:01
  strength.
• 4:02
  And
• 4:03
  it's
• 4:03
  available
• 4:03
  to
• 4:03
  all
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  us
• 4:05
  based
• 4:06
  on
• 4:06
  this
• 4:06
  scripture.
• 4:09
  Second
• 4:09
  point
• 4:09
  to
• 4:09
  ponder.
• 4:11
  Look
• 4:11
  at
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  language
• 4:12
  about
• 4:12
  rescue.
• 4:13
  It
• 4:13
  says,
• 4:13
  quote,
• 4:14
  dead
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  alleys
• 4:15
  and
• 4:15
  dark
• 4:15
  dungeons.
• 4:16
  Close
• 4:16
  quote.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:17
  Paul
• 4:17
  isn't
• 4:18
  talking
• 4:18
  here
• 4:18
  about
• 4:18
  some
• 4:19
  abstract
• 4:20
  theological
• 4:21
  transaction
• 4:22
  here.
• 4:22
  He's
• 4:22
  talking
• 4:23
  about
• 4:23
  liberation
• 4:24
  from
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  dungeon.
• 4:26
  Real,
• 4:27
  lived,
• 4:27
  felt
• 4:28
  liberation
• 4:29
  from
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  cycles
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  patterns
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  systems
• 4:31
  that
• 4:32
  keep
• 4:32
  us
• 4:33
  stuck
• 4:34
  in
• 4:34
  those
• 4:34
  dark,
• 4:35
  dreary
• 4:36
  places.
• 4:37
  That's
• 4:38
  why
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  love
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  take
• 4:38
  faith
• 4:39
  from
• 4:39
  a
• 4:39
  progressive
• 4:40
  perspective.
• 4:41
  So
• 4:42
  this
• 4:42
  isn't
• 4:42
  like
• 4:42
  an
• 4:42
  escape
• 4:43
  hatch.
• 4:44
  This
• 4:44
  is
• 4:44
  God
• 4:45
  continually
• 4:46
  pulling
• 4:46
  us
• 4:46
  out
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  the
• 4:47
  pits
• 4:47
  we
• 4:47
  fall
• 4:47
  into
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  pits
• 4:49
  we
• 4:49
  dig
• 4:49
  for
• 4:49
  ourselves,
• 4:50
  for
• 4:50
  that
• 4:51
  matter,
• 4:51
  or
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  were
• 4:52
  dug
• 4:53
  for
• 4:53
  us
• 4:53
  by
• 4:54
  unjust
• 4:54
  assistance,
• 4:56
  by
• 4:56
  trauma,
• 4:58
  by
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  weight
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  world
• 4:59
  pressing
• 5:00
  down
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  us,
• 5:01
  by
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  sins
• 5:02
  we
• 5:02
  seem
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  be
• 5:03
  doomed
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  be
• 5:03
  repeating.
• 5:05
  And
• 5:05
  that's
• 5:06
  not
• 5:06
  just
• 5:06
  a
• 5:07
  personal
• 5:07
  moral
• 5:07
  failure.
• 5:08
  That's
• 5:08
  the
• 5:09
  collective
• 5:10
  brokenness
• 5:11
  we
• 5:12
  have
• 5:12
  sometimes
• 5:12
  inherited
• 5:13
  in
• 5:13
  our
• 5:13
  life
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  sometimes
• 5:15
  participate
• 5:16
  in
• 5:17
  even
• 5:18
  without
• 5:18
  even
• 5:18
  knowing
• 5:18
  it.
• 5:19
  So
• 5:20
  God's
• 5:20
  rescue
• 5:20
  is
• 5:21
  ongoing
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:22
  wide.
• 5:22
  It's
• 5:23
  not
• 5:23
  just
• 5:23
  about
• 5:24
  getting
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  out
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  your
• 5:24
  pit.
• 5:25
  It's
• 5:25
  about
• 5:25
  a
• 5:26
  whole
• 5:26
  kingdom
• 5:27
  vision
• 5:27
  where
• 5:27
  everything
• 5:28
  bright
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  beautiful
• 5:29
  becomes
• 5:30
  possible
• 5:32
  for
• 5:32
  everyone.
• 5:35
  So
• 5:35
  here's
• 5:35
  what
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  want
• 5:36
  you
• 5:36
  to
• 5:36
  do.
• 5:36
  Here's
• 5:36
  an
• 5:36
  action
• 5:36
  step
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  you
• 5:37
  can
• 5:38
  do.
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  want
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  to
• 5:39
  think
• 5:39
  about
• 5:39
  something
• 5:39
  in
• 5:40
  your
• 5:40
  life
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  have
• 5:40
  been
• 5:41
  white
• 5:41
  knuckling.
• 5:42
  Maybe
• 5:43
  it's
• 5:43
  your
• 5:43
  faith
• 5:43
  or
• 5:44
  your
• 5:44
  relationships
• 5:44
  or
• 5:44
  your
• 5:45
  marriage
• 5:45
  or
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  workplace
• 5:46
  or
• 5:47
  your
• 5:47
  health
• 5:47
  journey.
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  want
• 5:49
  you
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  name
• 5:50
  it
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  kind
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  claim
• 5:50
  it
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  name
• 5:51
  it
• 5:51
  that
• 5:51
  I'm
• 5:52
  having
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  tough
• 5:52
  time
• 5:52
  with
• 5:53
  this
• 5:53
  God.
• 5:54
  And
• 5:54
  just
• 5:55
  say
• 5:55
  it
• 5:55
  out
• 5:55
  loud
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  Then
• 5:58
  consciously
• 5:59
  release
• 6:00
  your
• 6:00
  grip.
• 6:02
  Let
• 6:02
  the
• 6:03
  white
• 6:03
  knuckle
• 6:03
  go
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  be
• 6:04
  flowed.
• 6:05
  Let
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  blood
• 6:05
  flow
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  your
• 6:07
  hands
• 6:08
  so
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  can
• 6:09
  hold
• 6:09
  things
• 6:10
  tenderly
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  lightly.
• 6:12
  This
• 6:12
  is
• 6:13
  not
• 6:13
  because
• 6:13
  you're
• 6:13
  giving
• 6:14
  up,
• 6:14
  but
• 6:14
  because
• 6:15
  you're
• 6:15
  making
• 6:16
  room
• 6:17
  for
• 6:17
  glory,
• 6:18
  strength
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  come
• 6:19
  in.
• 6:20
  So
• 6:20
  it's
• 6:20
  not
• 6:20
  all
• 6:21
  about
• 6:21
  you.
• 6:22
  It's
• 6:23
  about
• 6:23
  others
• 6:23
  who
• 6:23
  are
• 6:23
  supporting
• 6:24
  you.
• 6:26
  Maybe
• 6:26
  you
• 6:26
  might
• 6:26
  want
• 6:26
  to
• 6:27
  ask
• 6:27
  another
• 6:28
  person
• 6:28
  to
• 6:29
  kind
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  help
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  with
• 6:30
  that
• 6:30
  load
• 6:30
  by
• 6:31
  just
• 6:31
  sharing
• 6:31
  it
• 6:31
  with
• 6:31
  them.
• 6:32
  Send
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  text,
• 6:33
  make
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  call,
• 6:34
  do
• 6:34
  a
• 6:35
  Facebook
• 6:35
  post.
• 6:36
  Let
• 6:37
  yourself
• 6:38
  be
• 6:38
  held.
• 6:39
  Let
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  load
• 6:40
  be
• 6:41
  lightened
• 6:41
  by
• 6:41
  others
• 6:41
  to
• 6:42
  share
• 6:42
  it.
• 6:42
  That's
• 6:43
  not
• 6:43
  weakness.
• 6:44
  That's
• 6:45
  how
• 6:45
  God
• 6:45
  works.
• 6:47
  You
• 6:47
  know,
• 6:47
  my
• 6:47
  granddaughters
• 6:48
  are
• 6:49
  pretty
• 6:50
  little
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  when
• 6:50
  they
• 6:51
  were
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  littler,
• 6:52
  one
• 6:52
  of
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  things
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  loved
• 6:53
  most
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  world
• 6:53
  was
• 6:53
  just
• 6:54
  kind
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  laughing
• 6:54
  with
• 6:54
  them.
• 6:55
  Hold
• 6:55
  my
• 6:55
  lap
• 6:56
  and
• 6:56
  just
• 6:56
  kind
• 6:56
  of
• 6:57
  feel
• 6:57
  their
• 6:57
  body
• 6:57
  shake.
• 6:58
  When
• 6:58
  they
• 6:58
  laugh,
• 6:59
  my
• 7:00
  body
• 7:00
  would
• 7:00
  shake
• 7:01
  too.
• 7:02
  And
• 7:02
  there's
• 7:02
  no
• 7:02
  grit
• 7:03
  there,
• 7:03
  there's
• 7:03
  no
• 7:04
  performance.
• 7:04
  It's
• 7:05
  just
• 7:06
  joy
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  spills
• 7:07
  out.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  think
• 7:09
  that's
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  little
• 7:09
  tiny
• 7:09
  picture
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  what
• 7:10
  Paul
• 7:10
  is
• 7:10
  describing
• 7:11
  here.
• 7:12
  A
• 7:12
  strength
• 7:12
  that's
• 7:13
  real
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  rooted
• 7:14
  in
• 7:14
  love
• 7:14
  and
• 7:14
  can't
• 7:15
  help
• 7:15
  but
• 7:15
  overflow
• 7:16
  with
• 7:17
  joy.
• 7:19
  We're
• 7:19
  going
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  come
• 7:19
  back
• 7:19
  and
• 7:20
  have
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  prayer
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  close
• 7:20
  things
• 7:21
  out
• 7:21
  here
• 7:21
  in
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  minute.
• 7:21
  Just
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  quick
• 7:22
  reminder
• 7:23
  that
• 7:23
  we
• 7:23
  have
• 7:23
  a
• 7:24
  resource
• 7:25
  for
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  called
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  ABC
• 7:26
  123
• 7:27
  Bible
• 7:27
  study
• 7:28
  method.
• 7:28
  Free
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  you,
• 7:29
  my
• 7:29
  friend.
• 7:30
  Just
• 7:30
  head
• 7:30
  over
• 7:30
  to
• 7:30
  our
• 7:31
  website,
• 7:31
  voiceofgoddaily.com
• 7:33
  that's
• 7:33
  where
• 7:33
  you
• 7:33
  can
• 7:33
  get
• 7:33
  it.
• 7:34
  Let's
• 7:34
  pray.
• 7:36
  God,
• 7:36
  we.
• 7:36
  We're
• 7:37
  tired
• 7:37
  and
• 7:37
  some
• 7:37
  of
• 7:38
  us
• 7:38
  been
• 7:38
  gritting
• 7:38
  our
• 7:38
  teeth
• 7:39
  and
• 7:40
  so
• 7:40
  much
• 7:41
  that
• 7:41
  our
• 7:41
  jaws
• 7:42
  ache
• 7:43
  spiritually,
• 7:43
  emotionally,
• 7:44
  physically.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:45
  we've
• 7:45
  been
• 7:45
  told
• 7:46
  to
• 7:46
  hang
• 7:46
  on
• 7:46
  white
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  knuckle
• 7:47
  it
• 7:47
  harder.
• 7:48
  That
• 7:48
  that's
• 7:48
  the
• 7:49
  answer,
• 7:49
  but
• 7:49
  that's.
• 7:50
  We're
• 7:51
  just
• 7:51
  finding.
• 7:51
  We're
• 7:51
  finding
• 7:52
  ourselves
• 7:52
  exhausted.
• 7:54
  So
• 7:54
  today
• 7:54
  we
• 7:54
  ask
• 7:55
  for
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  other
• 7:56
  kind
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  strength.
• 7:57
  The
• 7:58
  kind
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  comes
• 7:58
  from
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  and
• 7:59
  comes
• 7:59
  from
• 8:00
  others.
• 8:01
  The
• 8:01
  glory
• 8:01
  strength
• 8:01
  that
• 8:02
  doesn't
• 8:02
  drain
• 8:02
  us
• 8:02
  but
• 8:02
  fills
• 8:03
  us
• 8:03
  with
• 8:03
  overflowing.
• 8:05
  Rescue
• 8:05
  us
• 8:05
  again,
• 8:06
  God,
• 8:07
  from
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  dead
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  alleys
• 8:08
  of
• 8:08
  our
• 8:08
  own
• 8:08
  stubbornness,
• 8:09
  from
• 8:09
  the
• 8:10
  dark
• 8:10
  dungeons
• 8:10
  of
• 8:11
  shame
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  isolation,
• 8:12
  from
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  cycles
• 8:13
  we
• 8:13
  can't
• 8:13
  seem
• 8:13
  to
• 8:14
  break
• 8:14
  on
• 8:14
  our
• 8:14
  own.
• 8:15
  Remind
• 8:15
  us
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  your
• 8:16
  liberation
• 8:16
  is
• 8:17
  wide
• 8:17
  enough
• 8:17
  for
• 8:17
  everyone
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  we
• 8:18
  don't
• 8:19
  have
• 8:19
  to
• 8:19
  earn
• 8:19
  it.
• 8:20
  Help
• 8:20
  us
• 8:20
  release
• 8:20
  our
• 8:21
  grip
• 8:21
  just
• 8:22
  enough
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  feel
• 8:22
  your
• 8:22
  hand
• 8:23
  underneath
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  let
• 8:24
  us
• 8:24
  laugh,
• 8:26
  really
• 8:26
  laugh,
• 8:28
  like
• 8:28
  children
• 8:28
  who
• 8:28
  know
• 8:28
  they
• 8:29
  are
• 8:29
  loved.
• 8:30
  Amen.
• 8:42
  My
• 8:42
  friend,
• 8:43
  I
• 8:43
  am
• 8:43
  delighted
• 8:44
  you
• 8:45
  chose
• 8:45
  to
• 8:45
  join
• 8:45
  me
• 8:46
  for
• 8:46
  today's
• 8:46
  reading.
