1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said,

2

Speaker 1: surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: it not Genesis twenty eight sixteen. Lord, I thank you

Speaker 1: those things lightly. I don't want to miss your instructions.

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,040

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: from God left unopened. Help me open your divine communications

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:03,360

26
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: on John chapter three, verse sixteen from the King James version.

27
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: For God so loved the world that he gave his

28
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not

29
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: perish but have everlasting life. Pour out your adoration to God,

30
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: who gave you his best through Christ Jesus, God, I

31
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: praise you for giving me the very best of who

32
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: you are. You withheld nothing back, You gave it all.

33
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I worship you for sending your only begot and son

34
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: to die on the cross. You sacrificed your son to

35
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: offer salvation through your love. I exalt you, Lord for

36
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: giving up your life to save mine. For giving up

37
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: your freedom in exchange for my redemption. Love gives the

38
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: very best of itself. The Bible says that God's love

39
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: for the world was so great he gave up his

40
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: son to restore relationship with humanity. God gave the very

41
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: best he had to offer because he loves you. Giving

42
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: your best to anyone or anything can be really hard.

43
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes you find you are not willing to do so.

44
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: It's tough to give up your time, emotions, and resources.

45
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: Sometimes you try and fail. Confess those failed attempts to God.

46
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: Confess your lack of love and failed attempts to him.

47
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: He is faithful and just. He will forgive your failures

48
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: and restore your love. Now consider for a moment God's

49
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: unmatched love in your life and thank him for it.

50
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Thank God for setting his seal upon your heart. Thank

51
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: him for his love that is stronger than death. Many

52
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: waters could not quench his love for you. Neither could

53
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the floods drown it out. Thank the Lord for having

54
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: loved you with an everlasting love. Thank God for giving

55
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: you his best in Jesus Christ. Thank for a minute

56
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: on past experiences where you engaged with God's love. Thank

57
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: Him for all past blessings of His love over your life,

58
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: and for those still to come. God is present and

59
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: he is listening to you. God did not spare even

60
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: his own son, but gave him up for you, so that,

61
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: along with Jesus, you can have all manner of good things.

62
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: Approach God in the boldness of this love. Believing that

63
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: his promise is true and that he longs to bless you.

64
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: Petition God for the blessing of love. Ask the Holy

65
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Spirit to teach you to give the best of yourself

66
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: in love, whether it be to another person or to

67
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: a task at hand. Remember, God expects you to give

68
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: the best of yourself in love. God is love, and

69
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: He showed that love by giving the finest of himself.

70
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: As God loved you, you are to love others. You

71
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: have God's Holy Spirit to show you the way and

72
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,720

Speaker 1: full attention to a friend, your full focus to a task,

76
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:20,800
