1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Number one, Ecclesiastes 7, 
verse 10. 

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Do not say why were the former 
days better than these, for you 

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,920
do not inquire wisely concerning
this. 

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,480
I don't know why this happened, 
but turning 25 was really quite 

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,160
a difficult time for me. 
It was as if, OK, now I can't 

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,080
tick the boxes 18 to 24, now 
I've got to tick boxes 25 to 40 

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,760
and I felt so very old. 
Even though I wasn't, I felt 

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,640
old. 
It was like now the door of 

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800
youth was shut forever more. 
My teenage years have gone, my 

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,800
early 20s have gone and that's 
it. 

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,680
Now I'm a fully fledged adults. 
I couldn't go back to my old 

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,600
ways. 
I couldn't go back to partying. 

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,480
I couldn't go back to night 
clubs. 

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,920
And it really did mess with my 
head. 

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,560
I remember specifically at that 
time I started listening to 

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,560
worldly music. 
I started dwelling on the old 

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,640
days, on my old wild days. 
It it plagued my mind. 

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,080
And guys, you could have laughed
at this, but I had a sort of 

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,120
midlife crisis at 25 years old. 
And on top of all of this, life 

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,280
had got so very, very serious. 
Marriage is tough, isn't it? 

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,080
For those of you who are married
and you're watching this, it's 

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600
not a bed of roses. 
It's not like it's portrayed in 

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
social media and in the movies. 
It can be tough. 

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,680
And marriage requires work. 
And at that time, me and Emma 

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,200
were going through a tough 
patch. 

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,320
You know, I was struggling in my
ministry. 

27
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,440
I was going out St. preaching 
nearly every day. 

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,040
And I was seeing so little fruit
from my ministry. 

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,800
People were laughing at me. 
I didn't have many friends. 

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080
I found that time a really tough
period. 

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,480
I remember once hearing a pastor
say, if I wasn't a Christian 

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,480
man, if the Lord hadn't saved 
me, I think I would have got 

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,000
divorced many, many years ago. 
Let me let you into a secret, 

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
friends. 
I can relate to what that pastor

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,720
said in those years, those two 
really dark, dark years. 

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,680
If if it wasn't for the almighty
God protecting me, I would have 

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960
made some big big mistakes. 
Just to be honest. 

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,360
I would have ruined my life if 
it wasn't for the grace and 

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,680
kindness of God who's kept me in
those dark times. 

40
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,280
May I ask you another personal 
question? 

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Are there tear stains on your 
Bible? 

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,680
Have you ever been reading the 
word of God and the Spirit of 

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,800
God has overwhelmed you so much 
that you start to shed tears? 

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Well, I remember I was sat on 
the edge of a small Cliff 

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,560
looking across this beautiful 
lake, and I pulled out a small 

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Bible and I was just flicking 
through the pages. 

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,240
There was no order. 
I was just randomly flicking 

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,280
through the pages. 
Lord, please speak to me. 

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,120
And I turned to Ecclesiastes 7, 
verse 10. 

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Do not say why were the former 
days better than these? 

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,960
For you do not inquire wisely. 
Because at that time I was 

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,560
looking back and I was wishing I
could go back to the days when I

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,240
wasn't saved. 
I was wishing I could go back to

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,960
those wild days. 
When I parted, I got drunk. 

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,160
But God in that moment said, 
Joe, you don't want that at all.

56
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,240
You want me. 
You want the life that I can 

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,640
give you, the life that is 
hidden with Christ in the 

58
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,680
heavenly places. 
Don't be like lost wife. 

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Don't look back in the past. 
Trust me. 

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Trust me that I have a plan and 
a future for your life. 

61
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:27,560
My dear brother, my dear sister,
are you looking back into the 

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,160
past? 
Perhaps because you're burdened 

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440
with so much care, or perhaps 
because you're just fine in 

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800
life? 
It's become so boring, it's so 

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720
serious, it's so narrow, the 
Christian life and you're 

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
struggling right now. 
Well can I just gently remind 

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,600
you it's not wise to look back 
into your older days to look 

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640
back on on memories. 
There's nothing wrong with 

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080
reminiscing and giving thanks, 
but to long for those days back 

70
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,120
it's not a wise thing to do. 
Rather look for the hope the 

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,680
future is in the Lord Jesus 
Christ, the one who died and 

72
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:07,000
gave up his life as a ransom for
your soul #2 Psalm 73 verse 17. 

73
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Until I went into the sanctuary 
of God, then I understood their 

74
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040
final end. 
Now whoever you are watching 

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,519
this, I want you to know 
something. 

76
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,560
I deeply care about you. 
I care about those of you who 

77
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,840
are struggling, those of you 
who've made a mess in your life.

78
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,520
I want you to get on fire for 
the Lord gods. 

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,640
And why? 
Why do I have this burden in my 

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800
heart? 
Because I was like you at one 

81
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,760
time. 
The last video I made was about 

82
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,920
being a lukewarm Christian. 
And I'll tell you over those 

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,720
years, over these, this period 
of time that I'm talking about 

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,960
right now, I was lukewarm. 
In fact, I wasn't even even 

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,400
lukewarm. 
I was cold. 

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,240
I was away from God. 
And Psalm 73 really did protect 

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,080
me. 
It saved me, it kept me. 

88
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:54,120
It put me on the right path, and
it gave me wisdom that I needed 

89
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,160
from the Lord God to see just 
how foolish I was to fill my 

90
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,800
mind to feed on so much sin 
because it just did not satisfy 

91
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,200
and it wasn't the answer to 
anything at all. 

92
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,040
So what is Psalm 73 all about? 
Well, here's this man, Asaph, 

93
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,440
and he's struggling. 
He's seeing around him these 

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,560
unbelievers, these wicked 
people, and they're prospering. 

95
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,760
They're doing well, they're 
successful, they're rich, 

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,960
they're famous. 
They'll be the type of people to

97
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,240
be on the front page of, of 
Instagram who are just doing all

98
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,240
these amazing things. 
But he himself, he's struggling,

99
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200
he's finding life tough and he 
actually finds himself getting 

100
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,120
jealous. 
He envies the life of the 

101
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,160
unbeliever, and this jealousy 
becomes a sickness in his mind. 

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640
He wears it like a coat and it 
tears him to pieces. 

103
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,000
So what does Asaph do? 
Well, he does something that 

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,280
every single struggling believer
should do. 

105
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,680
If you're struggling right now, 
what should you do? 

106
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,000
You need to get into the 
presence of God. 

107
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,040
And Asaph, he enters into the 
presence of God and in the 

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440
sanctuary of God, God gives him 
an insight. 

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,080
He gives him a revelation. 
What was that revelation? 

110
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,960
All men die. 
You see these rich, successful, 

111
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,160
beautiful unbelievers, they 
might look good now, but the 

112
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,480
question needs to be asked, how 
do they end? 

113
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,360
I challenge you right now to 
find someone who's doing well at

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,360
life, who doesn't know the Lord 
Jesus Christ, who's rich, who's 

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,640
famous, who has many followers 
on Instagram. 

116
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,600
I challenge you to find that 
person and then look at their 

117
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,240
life when they turn 70, when 
they get into their 80s. 

118
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,720
They might look good now, but 
the question needs to be asked, 

119
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,120
how does that unbeliever end? 
The Bible says the way of the 

120
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,520
Sinner is hard. 
The Bible says that sin has it's

121
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
pleasures. 
For a season it's fleeting, but 

122
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320
after that it becomes like a 
bitter Wormwood. 

123
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880
You'll never see on social media
that the man or woman who rebels

124
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,160
against God, if they spend their
whole life rejecting him, you 

125
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,160
never see how miserable they 
are. 

126
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,640
In the end, we only show the 
best bits, don't we? 

127
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,000
On social media? 
Jack Nicholson is a very famous 

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,520
example of this. 
Jack Nicholson famous actor won 

129
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,000
Oscars, very rich, very famous 
and he makes claims that he had 

130
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800
relationships with over 3000 
women. 

131
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Many men would look at Jack 
Nicholson's life and think what 

132
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,280
a great life that was. 
How amazing, how I wish I could 

133
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,640
be Jack Nicholson. 
But at age 70, how does Jack 

134
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Nicholson end? 
In an interview, he said this. 

135
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,920
I regret messing around. 
I regret florandering around 

136
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240
with many different women 
because now no woman will ever 

137
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600
trust me and I'm scared of dying
in the house on my own. 

138
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,680
But I want you to compare how 
the unbeliever ends their life 

139
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,960
to the way the believer ends 
their life. 

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,320
I'm not an old man yet, OK? 
But I've watched, I've observed 

141
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,080
old people and churches around 
me and my observation has been 

142
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,000
this. 
The older they get that they're 

143
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,440
like wine, they just mature with
age because they realise like an

144
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320
athlete, as he sees the 
finishing line, they start to 

145
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,040
speed up, seeing I'm getting 
closer to the end, I'm going to 

146
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,760
see my Lord, I'm going to see my
saviour soon. 

147
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600
But the unbeliever, as they get 
closer to the end, they think 

148
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880
I've got nothing left, just a 
bunch of memories of sin. 

149
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,240
But there's nothing to look 
forward to. 

150
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,480
There's no hope for the future. 
So my dear friends, don't look 

151
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,000
at the past. 
Don't be so obsessed with this 

152
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
world. 
No, fix your eyes on the Lord 

153
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,039
Jesus Christ. 
And that's why Psalm 73 helped 

154
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:38,520
me so much, because just to be 
totally honest with you, there 

155
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,559
was one particular man. 
There was a man on social media,

156
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,960
I'm not going to name him, but I
was so very, very jealous of 

157
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,480
him. 
He had many followers. 

158
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,360
He had a great lifestyle that 
the world would say everyone 

159
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,760
wants that kind of lifestyle. 
And for some reason I became 

160
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,240
very, very jealous of him and I 
wanted to be just like him. 

161
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,240
But actually, five years on, do 
you know where that man is now? 

162
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,600
His business has finished. 
He's not got as many followers 

163
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
because actually I believe God 
has judged him for living an 

164
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960
immoral life. 
I don't say that in any way to 

165
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,640
gloat or to be happy, but I say 
it because the Bible is true. 

166
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,760
The Bible says in Psalm 37 I've 
seen a wicked man spreading 

167
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,600
himself out like a green Laurel 
tree. 

168
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,400
So in other words, he's he's 
spreading out, he looks great, 

169
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,240
the whole world can see him and 
thinks what a great guy he is. 

170
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,080
But then the Psalm carries on. 
But I looked for him in a few 

171
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
years time and I couldn't find 
him. 

172
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:37,560
Though I looked hard, he was 
nowhere to be seen. 

173
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,120
And God does cut down the 
wicked, and there is a day where

174
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
those pleasures will just die 
down. 

175
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,160
But we need to look to Christ, 
because there is a treasure in 

176
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,600
Christ that no one can take from
US #3 James chapter 4 verse 14 

177
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280
says this. 
For what is your life? 

178
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,400
It is even a vapour that appears
for a little time and then 

179
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,200
vanishes away. 
I want to give you a piece of 

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880
advice. 
If you're a young person and 

181
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520
you're watching this video, I 
want to give you the most 

182
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,920
precious piece of advice that 
you could ever learn as a young 

183
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,160
person. 
Know this, you ain't going to 

184
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,280
live forever and to every single
young person you need to 

185
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,360
remember your Creator in the 
days of your youth. 

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,080
You need to turn to the Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

187
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,040
You see, the Bible is true when 
it says life is but a vapor. 

188
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,440
We've all had a cup of tea or a 
cup of coffee and we've put the 

189
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,720
kettle on and we've seen that 
mist come out of the kettle. 

190
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,840
It's there for a short time and 
then it vanishes, never to be 

191
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,360
seen again. 
We've all seen the man down the 

192
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,360
street and he's puffing on an E 
cig. 

193
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,840
He's vaping and you see that 
vape come out. 

194
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,760
It's there and then it vanishes,
never to be seen again. 

195
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,800
And James says that is what your
life is like. 

196
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,120
It's so brief. 
It's so fragile. 

197
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,720
We as human beings are so 
vulnerable. 

198
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,840
You know, there are many things 
you can get back. 

199
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,760
If you lose money in life, you 
can often get your money back. 

200
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,840
If you lose your job, you can 
get a new job. 

201
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,120
If you lose your car, you can 
buy a new car. 

202
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,240
But there's one thing you can't 
get back and that's your time. 

203
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Time is precious. 
So every single day I actually 

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,960
have a cold shower. 
I know you think I'm crazy, but 

205
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,680
I have a cold shower every 
morning. 

206
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,120
And as that cold water hits my 
body, I say thank you, God, 

207
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Thank you for another day on 
this earth. 

208
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,520
Thank you for another day to to 
turn from sin to, to respect 

209
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360
you, to honor you, to live for 
you, another chance to, for 

210
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,360
witness, to share the gospel. 
So because time is so brief, we 

211
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,440
need to make sure that we use 
the days wisely and we seek out 

212
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,520
opportunities to try and win as 
many souls as possible because 

213
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,880
eternity is long and we want to 
bring as many people to Christ 

214
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,760
to make sure you make every 
single day count. 

215
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
And you give thanks that today 
you're alive, Today your heart 

216
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,000
is beating because God has 
granted you another day on his 

217
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,480
very, very green earth. 
And lastly, Second Corinthians 5

218
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,360
verse 21 says this. 
For he made him who knew no sin 

219
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,320
to be sin for us, that we might 
become the righteousness of God 

220
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,640
in him. 
You know, really it was this 

221
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,680
verse which helped me to 
understand what the gospel was. 

222
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,520
I remember when I got saved 
around that period of time I 

223
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,480
heard an open air preacher say 
this. 

224
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,600
God poured out all of his wrath 
on Jesus Christ for your sin and

225
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160
in that moment it was like a 
light bulb moment. 

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,800
I understood that God had to be 
angry at someone for my sin and 

227
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,880
that someone was not just 
anyone. 

228
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,600
It was the Son of God who had 
never done anything wrong and on

229
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,280
the cross he took my sin in his 
body and was punished there on 

230
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,800
that tree so that I could be 
forgiven. 

231
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,200
And that verse, second 
Corinthians 5, verse 21, I came 

232
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,000
across it at the same kind of 
time. 

233
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,840
He, that's God made him, Jesus 
Christ to become sin. 

234
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,040
So on the cross Jesus became our
lies, He became our blasphemy. 

235
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,040
He became our sex outside of 
marriage, our pride, our anger, 

236
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,000
our lust. 
On the cross Christ became that 

237
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,800
sin. 
And it says in the Bible it 

238
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,280
pleased the Lord to bruise him, 
not because he hated his Son, He

239
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,440
loved his Son dearly, but 
because he hated our sin. 

240
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,000
So here we are at Calvary. 
There was a legal transaction. 

241
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,160
The worst of Joe Kirby, the 
worst of you was laid on Christ 

242
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,000
Jesus. 
And then the best of Jesus 

243
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Christ can be imputed, can be 
given to you as a gift. 

244
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,320
So Christ's perfect track 
record, his righteousness, his 

245
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,560
love, his his godliness can be 
given to you as a gift instantly

246
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,240
like that. 
And that, that is why the gospel

247
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,520
is so amazing because God 
doesn't see you anymore. 

248
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,880
He sees his blessed Son, the 
Lord Jesus Christ, and he adopts

249
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,680
you into his family and says, I 
love you. 

250
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
You're a child of God. 
I'm with you forever. 

251
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
I will never leave you. 
I'll never forsake you. 

252
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,920
Come be with me forever, in all 
of eternity, where you'll serve 

253
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,080
me in the new creation.
