30
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness

31
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: shall not depart from thee. Neither shall the covenant of

32
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160

Speaker 2: on thee. Take a moment and pour out your love

34
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: your adoration to God. God. I praise you, for you

35
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: are not a man that should lie. All your words

36
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: are true, and you never go back on your promises.

37
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: I worship you for you are a God of covenant. Jesus,

38
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: I praise you, for my righteousness is found in you.

39
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: You relentlessly pursue me and you never give up on me.

40
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: I adore you, King of my heart. God's love is irrevocable.

41
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Our God is a covenant keeping God, and he promised

42
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: to love us forever. His relationship with us is not

43
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: based on the time we live, in the place we

44
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: find ourselves in, or the physical geology of the earth

45
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: around us. The entire earth will burn, a new heaven

46
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: and a new earth will come down. We will be

47
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: in new bodies in God's love for us will endure.

48
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes we base our lives on things that seem sure

49
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: and certain, but only God is our rock in our

50
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: strong tower. There's no mountain, hill or fortress in which

51
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: we can trust more than then we can trust in

52
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: His love for us. God desires to do kindness toward us.

53
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: He wants to give you peace. Steady your weak knees,

54
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: give you rest. His promise of love and relationship will

55
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: never be broken. There is no universe in which God

56
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: will just stop loving you. God, in his mercy, has

57
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: based his covenant on himself, for he never changes, and

58
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: in him there is no shadow of turning. Even if

59
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: you're unfaithful, God never will be. Is your opportunity then

60
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: to cleanse your heart be honest with yourself and with

61
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: God in prayer. Confess your sins to him. Tell him

62
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: of the areas that you're struggling with. Now, think for

63
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: a moment on all the times God showed himself faithful,

64
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: those moments where God placed someone in your life to

65
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: show you kindness, The times of chaos when you found

66
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: peace in Christ, situations where oppression and isolation threatened to

67
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: overwhelm you, but the Holy Spirit comforted you. Thank God

68
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: for past situations when He reached out to you, when

69
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: He removed your heaviness and your weariness. Thank God because

70
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: His love is eternal and he will always be there

71
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: for you. I hope you know that God is present

72
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: and that He's listening to you. God never said we

73
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: would not be lonely. Quite the opposite. He promised that

74
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: at times we would be abandoned by those we loved.

75
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: Don't allow this to discourage you. God promised he would

76
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: always welcome you. The Holy Spirit is on your side

77
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: and he wants to help you, So be bold and

78
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: ask him. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you

79
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: through God's word. Ask him to help you understand and

80
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: process the Bible when you read it, you trusting his promises.

81
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: Ask Jesus to speak to your heart for you desire

82
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: to know him more. I remember, God's love will never disappear.

83
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: His promise of peace will not come to an end.

84
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: The mountains and hills may fall, but the love of

85
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: God will not fail. So don't fear. God has good

86
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: things for your life. Trusting God and the power and
