00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:14,725
Speaker 1: Life Audio from the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat.

2
00:00:17,845 --> 00:00:24,125
Speaker 2: Life can get insanely busy, sometimes work, bills, kids, relationships,

3
00:00:24,165 --> 00:00:26,685
Speaker 2: and somewhere along the way, many of us quietly set

4
00:00:26,765 --> 00:00:29,804
Speaker 2: down the things that once brought us joy. That book

5
00:00:29,845 --> 00:00:32,885
Speaker 2: we wanted to write, the guitar in the corner, But

6
00:00:32,965 --> 00:00:35,725
Speaker 2: hear this. God did not create you to be a machine.

7
00:00:36,285 --> 00:00:40,245
Speaker 2: In Psalm twenty three, David says, he restores my soul,

8
00:00:40,725 --> 00:00:45,045
Speaker 2: not uses it, not drains, it restores it. That means

9
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,925
Speaker 2: part of our spiritual health comes from letting God refill us,

10
00:00:48,284 --> 00:00:50,965
Speaker 2: and sometimes he does that through the passions He placed

11
00:00:50,964 --> 00:00:53,685
Speaker 2: in us long ago. So if you've abandoned a hobby

12
00:00:53,725 --> 00:00:56,405
Speaker 2: that once made you feel alive, maybe it's time to

13
00:00:56,605 --> 00:01:00,005
Speaker 2: dust it off make room for joy again. God delights

14
00:01:00,045 --> 00:01:05,485
Speaker 2: in seeing his kids enjoy the gifts he's given them.
