00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.379
Don't<00:03:39.740><c> go</c><00:03:39.860><c> thinking</c><00:03:39.979><c> that</c><00:03:40.199><c> life</c><00:03:40.500><c> isn't</c><00:03:40.900><c> fair,</c><00:03:42.139><c> that</c><00:03:42.240><c> you're</c>

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.340
Don't<00:03:47.240><c> lose</c><00:03:47.500><c> heart</c><00:03:47.800><c> and</c><00:03:48.340><c> give</c><00:03:48.620><c> up</c><00:03:49.560><c> and</c><00:03:50.699><c> try</c><00:03:50.840><c> to</c><00:03:51.060><c> serve</c><00:03:51.219><c> you</c><00:03:51.819><c> when</c><00:03:52.219><c> you</c>

00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:07.759
It's<00:04:04.479><c> strange</c><00:04:04.900><c> and</c><00:04:05.080><c> it</c><00:04:05.360><c> sounds</c><00:04:05.620><c> weird,</c><00:04:06.139><c> but</c><00:04:06.280><c> that's</c><00:04:06.639><c> the</c><00:04:06.860><c> truth.</c>

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:13.419
God<00:04:08.659><c> does</c><00:04:09.159><c> love</c><00:04:09.520><c> you,</c><00:04:10.939><c> and</c><00:04:11.400><c> that's</c><00:04:11.819><c> why</c><00:04:12.020><c> life</c><00:04:12.300><c> is</c><00:04:12.560><c> hard.</c>

00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:26.120
You<00:04:15.719><c> see,</c><00:04:16.560><c> he</c><00:04:16.740><c> started</c><00:04:17.000><c> out</c><00:04:18.160><c> trying</c><00:04:18.620><c> out</c><00:04:19.019><c> this</c><00:04:20.459><c> process</c><00:04:21.759><c> of</c><00:04:22.500><c> putting</c><00:04:22.879><c> man,</c><00:04:24.279><c> just</c><00:04:24.480><c> like</c><00:04:24.779><c> you,</c><00:04:25.959><c> a</c>

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:26.379
man<00:04:26.220><c> and</c><00:04:26.319><c> a</c>

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:38.240
a<00:04:31.860><c> place</c><00:04:32.019><c> that</c><00:04:32.160><c> was</c><00:04:32.339><c> easy,</c><00:04:34.480><c> a</c><00:04:34.759><c> garden</c><00:04:35.439><c> with</c>

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.220
one<00:04:43.079><c> law.</c>

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.399
We'll<00:04:44.899><c> keep</c><00:04:45.019><c> it</c><00:04:45.240><c> simple.</c>

00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.439
We'll<00:04:45.579><c> give</c><00:04:45.720><c> you</c><00:04:45.980><c> one</c><00:04:46.339><c> rule.</c>

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:51.579
And<00:04:49.980><c> it</c><00:04:50.240><c> failed</c><00:04:50.420><c> miserably.</c>

00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.779
You<00:04:53.420><c> know</c><00:04:53.500><c> how</c><00:04:53.939><c> long</c><00:04:54.279><c> Adam</c><00:04:54.500><c> and</c><00:04:54.639><c> Eve</c><00:04:54.779><c> were</c><00:04:55.040><c> before</c><00:04:55.439><c> they</c><00:04:55.720><c> sinned?</c>

00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.199
My<00:04:57.560><c> theory</c><00:04:57.800><c> is</c><00:04:57.939><c> it's</c><00:04:58.100><c> about</c><00:04:58.279><c> as</c><00:04:58.439><c> long</c><00:04:58.560><c> as</c><00:04:58.699><c> you</c><00:04:58.759><c> can</c><00:04:58.939><c> hold</c><00:04:59.100><c> your</c><00:04:59.300><c> breath.</c>

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.980
That's<00:05:03.000><c> about</c><00:05:03.100><c> how</c><00:05:03.259><c> long</c><00:05:03.379><c> I</c><00:05:03.540><c> would</c><00:05:03.639><c> have</c><00:05:03.800><c> gone.</c>

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:07.180
So<00:05:05.620><c> maybe</c><00:05:05.959><c> longer</c><00:05:06.259><c> than</c><00:05:06.540><c> that.</c>

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.540
Maybe<00:05:07.620><c> twice</c><00:05:07.899><c> as</c><00:05:08.100><c> long</c><00:05:08.199><c> as</c><00:05:08.339><c> I</c><00:05:08.420><c> would</c><00:05:08.560><c> have</c><00:05:08.680><c> gone.</c>

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:15.759
It<00:05:10.360><c> didn't</c><00:05:10.579><c> take</c><00:05:10.839><c> long</c><00:05:11.620><c> before</c><00:05:12.899><c> Adam</c><00:05:13.379><c> and</c><00:05:13.600><c> Eve,</c><00:05:14.459><c> in</c><00:05:14.519><c> this</c><00:05:15.279><c> easy</c>

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.819
life,<00:05:16.920><c> failed.</c>

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:25.420
And<00:05:20.259><c> God</c><00:05:20.399><c> decided,</c><00:05:21.139><c> instead,</c><00:05:22.899><c> I'm</c><00:05:23.060><c> going</c><00:05:23.160><c> to</c><00:05:23.240><c> give</c><00:05:23.360><c> you</c><00:05:23.560><c> thorns</c><00:05:23.980><c> and</c><00:05:24.240><c> thistles.</c>

00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:28.180
I'm<00:05:26.100><c> going</c><00:05:26.220><c> to</c><00:05:26.300><c> give</c><00:05:26.420><c> you</c><00:05:26.620><c> sorrow</c><00:05:27.079><c> and</c><00:05:27.399><c> sighing.</c>

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:31.939
I'm<00:05:30.439><c> going</c><00:05:30.500><c> to</c><00:05:30.600><c> give</c><00:05:30.699><c> you</c><00:05:30.939><c> sweat.</c>

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:37.819
And<00:05:34.160><c> it's</c><00:05:34.439><c> through</c><00:05:34.660><c> that</c><00:05:35.060><c> sweat,</c><00:05:36.100><c> it's</c><00:05:36.180><c> through</c><00:05:36.379><c> that</c><00:05:36.800><c> pain,</c>

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.000
it's<00:05:38.000><c> through</c><00:05:38.220><c> that</c><00:05:38.560><c> work</c><00:05:39.160><c> that</c><00:05:40.240><c> we</c><00:05:40.459><c> become</c><00:05:40.720><c> better</c>

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:48.639
people,<00:05:42.899><c> that</c><00:05:42.980><c> we're</c><00:05:43.500><c> stretched,</c><00:05:45.019><c> that</c><00:05:45.120><c> we</c><00:05:45.399><c> grow,</c><00:05:47.019><c> that</c><00:05:47.120><c> we're</c><00:05:47.540><c> hammered</c><00:05:48.120><c> and</c>

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.459
bent<00:05:49.300><c> into</c><00:05:49.759><c> shape</c><00:05:50.899><c> and</c><00:05:52.879><c> forged</c>

00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:57.339
into<00:05:54.220><c> the</c><00:05:54.500><c> kind</c><00:05:54.699><c> of</c><00:05:55.019><c> people</c><00:05:55.560><c> that</c><00:05:56.199><c> God</c><00:05:56.399><c> wants.</c>

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.300
That<00:06:03.560><c> is</c><00:06:04.000><c> why</c><00:06:04.160><c> God</c><00:06:04.540><c> disciplines</c><00:06:05.040><c> us.</c>

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.000
That's<00:06:05.540><c> why</c><00:06:05.660><c> God</c><00:06:05.959><c> brings</c><00:06:06.439><c> discipline</c><00:06:07.120><c> into</c><00:06:07.759><c> our</c><00:06:08.000><c> life.</c>

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.339
