00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:28.159
And<00:02:25.740><c> the</c><00:02:27.020><c> more</c><00:02:27.219><c> you</c><00:02:27.379><c> think</c><00:02:27.539><c> about</c><00:02:27.719><c> it,</c><00:02:27.900><c> it's</c>

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.919
one<00:02:28.319><c> of</c><00:02:28.419><c> the</c><00:02:28.580><c> hardest</c><00:02:28.819><c> lessons</c><00:02:29.199><c> for</c><00:02:29.379><c> us</c><00:02:29.500><c> to</c><00:02:29.740><c> learn</c><00:02:29.860><c> in</c><00:02:30.120><c> life.</c>

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.280
But<00:02:31.419><c> it's</c><00:02:31.740><c> very</c><00:02:32.300><c> simply</c><00:02:32.919><c> stated</c><00:02:33.280><c> when</c><00:02:33.439><c> you</c><00:02:33.659><c> think</c><00:02:33.840><c> about</c><00:02:34.060><c> it,</c>

00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.219
it's<00:02:34.939><c> not</c><00:02:35.120><c> about</c><00:02:35.340><c> you.</c>

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.199
It's<00:02:37.319><c> reasonable</c><00:02:37.840><c> for</c><00:02:38.580><c> us</c><00:02:38.759><c> to</c><00:02:39.000><c> come</c><00:02:39.180><c> to</c><00:02:39.360><c> the</c><00:02:39.659><c> conclusion</c>

00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.520
that<00:02:41.060><c> life</c><00:02:41.460><c> is</c><00:02:41.759><c> about</c><00:02:41.960><c> me.</c>

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.379
Because<00:02:43.500><c> that's</c><00:02:43.879><c> how</c><00:02:44.020><c> it</c><00:02:44.240><c> starts</c><00:02:44.439><c> out.</c>

00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:49.580
From<00:02:45.680><c> the</c><00:02:45.979><c> day</c><00:02:46.259><c> of</c><00:02:46.360><c> your</c><00:02:46.560><c> birth,</c><00:02:47.780><c> you</c><00:02:47.819><c> were</c><00:02:48.400><c> cared</c><00:02:48.800><c> for</c>

00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:53.080
and<00:02:50.080><c> you</c><00:02:50.199><c> were</c><00:02:50.539><c> fed</c><00:02:50.960><c> by</c><00:02:51.699><c> people</c><00:02:52.099><c> who</c><00:02:52.400><c> loved</c><00:02:52.620><c> you.</c>

00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:56.319
And<00:02:53.900><c> the</c><00:02:54.060><c> whole</c><00:02:54.439><c> world</c><00:02:55.099><c> evolved</c><00:02:55.800><c> around</c><00:02:56.139><c> you.</c>

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.039
First,<00:02:56.879><c> it</c><00:02:56.939><c> evolves</c><00:02:57.240><c> around</c><00:02:57.580><c> just</c><00:02:58.180><c> you</c><00:02:58.379><c> and</c><00:02:58.479><c> your</c><00:02:58.699><c> mom.</c>

00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:02.340
And<00:02:59.240><c> then</c><00:03:00.060><c> your</c><00:03:00.419><c> dad</c><00:03:00.759><c> and</c><00:03:00.919><c> your</c><00:03:01.139><c> siblings</c><00:03:01.479><c> come</c><00:03:01.919><c> into</c><00:03:02.159><c> it</c>

00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:04.840
and<00:03:02.460><c> it</c><00:03:02.539><c> becomes</c><00:03:02.879><c> the</c><00:03:03.719><c> world</c><00:03:04.080><c> is</c><00:03:04.280><c> your</c><00:03:04.520><c> house.</c>

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.680
And<00:03:04.979><c> then</c><00:03:05.159><c> it</c><00:03:05.360><c> grows</c><00:03:05.699><c> into</c><00:03:05.979><c> your</c><00:03:06.180><c> neighborhood</c>

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.479
and<00:03:07.400><c> sometimes</c><00:03:07.879><c> into</c><00:03:08.159><c> your</c><00:03:08.400><c> school</c><00:03:08.740><c> or</c><00:03:08.900><c> your</c><00:03:09.199><c> community.</c>

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:11.879
But<00:03:10.259><c> that's</c><00:03:10.900><c> the</c><00:03:11.139><c> world</c><00:03:11.439><c> for</c><00:03:11.719><c> you.</c>

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:13.180
And<00:03:12.180><c> it's</c><00:03:12.360><c> all</c><00:03:12.599><c> about</c><00:03:12.900><c> you.</c>

00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:17.560
It<00:03:13.400><c> kind</c><00:03:13.520><c> of</c><00:03:14.080><c> evolves</c><00:03:14.639><c> around</c><00:03:15.319><c> you</c><00:03:15.500><c> and</c><00:03:15.680><c> revolves</c><00:03:16.219><c> around</c><00:03:16.699><c> you.</c>

00:03:18.099 --> 00:03:20.120
For<00:03:18.280><c> most</c><00:03:18.539><c> of</c><00:03:18.740><c> us,</c><00:03:19.060><c> maturity</c><00:03:19.379><c> comes</c><00:03:19.719><c> along</c>

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.639
and<00:03:20.340><c> rears</c><00:03:20.580><c> its</c><00:03:20.759><c> ugly</c><00:03:21.060><c> head</c><00:03:21.419><c> in</c><00:03:22.520><c> the</c><00:03:22.719><c> 20s</c><00:03:23.120><c> or</c><00:03:23.340><c> 30s</c><00:03:23.919><c> or</c><00:03:24.120><c> 40s,</c>

00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.819
depending<00:03:24.979><c> on</c><00:03:25.400><c> how</c><00:03:25.919><c> much</c><00:03:26.520><c> you</c><00:03:26.699><c> fight</c><00:03:26.900><c> against</c><00:03:27.319><c> it.</c>

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.020
And<00:03:28.180><c> you</c><00:03:28.319><c> soon</c><00:03:28.520><c> realize</c><00:03:28.960><c> that</c><00:03:29.620><c> people</c><00:03:29.840><c> are</c><00:03:30.020><c> no</c><00:03:30.240><c> longer</c><00:03:30.520><c> bringing</c><00:03:30.819><c> you</c>

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.580
You<00:03:32.939><c> have</c><00:03:33.159><c> to</c><00:03:33.280><c> go</c><00:03:33.400><c> out</c><00:03:33.520><c> and</c><00:03:33.699><c> buy</c><00:03:33.879><c> it</c><00:03:34.099><c> yourself.</c>

00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:36.620
And<00:03:35.000><c> you</c><00:03:35.120><c> have</c><00:03:35.280><c> to</c><00:03:35.419><c> get</c><00:03:35.520><c> a</c><00:03:35.680><c> job</c><00:03:35.939><c> to</c><00:03:36.139><c> earn</c><00:03:36.280><c> money</c>

00:03:36.620 --> 00:03:38.840

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.379
But<00:03:39.219><c> even</c><00:03:39.520><c> if</c><00:03:40.379><c> you've</c><00:03:40.620><c> grown</c><00:03:40.840><c> up,</c><00:03:41.240><c> even</c><00:03:41.439><c> if</c><00:03:41.680><c> you've</c>

00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.879
that<00:03:45.060><c> we're</c><00:03:45.159><c> gonna</c><00:03:45.300><c> try</c><00:03:45.439><c> to</c><00:03:45.599><c> address</c><00:03:45.840><c> this</c><00:03:46.099><c> weekend</c><00:03:46.280><c> is,</c>

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.240
Have<00:03:49.659><c> you</c><00:03:49.919><c> grown</c><00:03:50.159><c> up</c><00:03:50.460><c> spiritually?</c>

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.939
Do<00:03:51.780><c> you</c><00:03:52.000><c> still</c><00:03:52.400><c> look</c><00:03:52.819><c> at</c><00:03:53.020><c> your</c><00:03:53.439><c> spiritual</c><00:03:53.860><c> life</c>

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:02.180
How<00:04:00.939><c> does</c><00:04:01.120><c> this</c><00:04:01.479><c> benefit</c><00:04:01.879><c> me?</c>

00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:03.259
How<00:04:02.340><c> does</c><00:04:02.520><c> this</c><00:04:02.719><c> help</c><00:04:02.900><c> me?</c>

What<00:04:03.699><c> am</c><00:04:03.860><c> I</c><00:04:04.099><c> gonna</c><00:04:04.240><c> get</c><00:04:04.419><c> out</c><00:04:04.539><c> of</c><00:04:04.620><c> these</c><00:04:04.800><c> classes</c><00:04:05.240><c> today?</c>

00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:09.180
No<00:04:07.039><c> one</c><00:04:07.159><c> would</c><00:04:07.360><c> ever</c><00:04:07.860><c> really</c><00:04:08.419><c> verbalize</c><00:04:09.000><c> this.</c>

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.020
No<00:04:09.379><c> one</c><00:04:09.479><c> ever</c><00:04:09.719><c> really</c><00:04:10.039><c> brings</c><00:04:10.340><c> it</c><00:04:10.479><c> up</c><00:04:10.680><c> and</c><00:04:11.039><c> says</c><00:04:11.439><c> it.</c>

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:16.899
But<00:04:12.460><c> often,</c><00:04:13.439><c> what</c><00:04:13.719><c> drives</c><00:04:14.199><c> us</c><00:04:14.719><c> in</c><00:04:14.900><c> our</c><00:04:15.240><c> spiritual</c><00:04:15.800><c> pursuit</c>

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.060
is<00:04:18.160><c> what's</c><00:04:18.759><c> in</c><00:04:18.860><c> it</c><00:04:19.019><c> for</c><00:04:19.120><c> me.</c>

00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.060
We<00:04:21.540><c> find</c><00:04:21.800><c> ourselves</c><00:04:22.139><c> kind</c><00:04:22.379><c> of</c><00:04:22.980><c> expecting</c><00:04:23.800><c> the</c><00:04:24.660><c> truth</c>

00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:27.379
to<00:04:25.759><c> make</c><00:04:25.939><c> our</c><00:04:26.139><c> lives</c><00:04:26.379><c> easier.</c>

00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:29.399
And<00:04:28.100><c> sometimes</c><00:04:28.300><c> people</c><00:04:28.500><c> will</c><00:04:28.699><c> actually</c><00:04:28.860><c> get</c><00:04:29.019><c> upset</c>

00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.180
and<00:04:29.779><c> they'll</c><00:04:30.000><c> leave</c><00:04:30.259><c> the</c><00:04:30.500><c> meeting</c><00:04:30.720><c> and</c><00:04:30.920><c> they'll</c><00:04:31.459><c> say,</c>

00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:33.920
it's<00:04:32.639><c> just</c><00:04:32.879><c> not</c><00:04:33.100><c> worth</c><00:04:33.399><c> it.</c>

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.680
It's<00:04:34.319><c> too</c><00:04:34.620><c> hard.</c>

00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:38.819
I'm<00:04:36.199><c> not</c><00:04:36.420><c> getting</c><00:04:36.680><c> anything</c><00:04:37.199><c> out</c><00:04:37.639><c> of</c><00:04:37.839><c> this.</c>

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.720
We<00:04:40.000><c> get</c><00:04:40.439><c> frustrated</c><00:04:40.959><c> when</c><00:04:41.100><c> it</c><00:04:41.180><c> doesn't</c><00:04:41.459><c> happen,</c>

00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:44.939
when<00:04:43.160><c> we're</c><00:04:43.639><c> not</c><00:04:43.899><c> receiving</c><00:04:44.319><c> the</c><00:04:44.579><c> benefit</c>

00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:47.220
that<00:04:45.180><c> we</c><00:04:45.459><c> thought</c><00:04:45.639><c> we'd</c><00:04:46.220><c> receive.</c>

00:04:48.379 --> 00:04:50.360

God<00:11:55.659><c> knew</c><00:11:56.240><c> you</c><00:11:56.740><c> were</c><00:11:56.860><c> gonna</c><00:11:56.980><c> be</c><00:11:57.259><c> here.</c>

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:01.220
Regardless<00:12:00.299><c> of</c><00:12:00.500><c> the</c><00:12:00.740><c> circumstances</c>

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:04.299
which<00:12:01.559><c> you</c><00:12:01.940><c> think</c><00:12:02.600><c> brought</c><00:12:02.980><c> you</c><00:12:03.159><c> here,</c>

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.120
the<00:12:05.000><c> parents</c><00:12:05.379><c> you</c><00:12:05.480><c> were</c><00:12:05.659><c> born</c><00:12:05.860><c> into,</c>

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.759
the<00:12:06.779><c> spouse</c><00:12:07.120><c> that</c><00:12:07.360><c> you</c><00:12:07.480><c> met,</c><00:12:07.779><c> the</c><00:12:07.960><c> Sunday</c><00:12:08.100><c> school</c><00:12:08.340><c> you</c><00:12:08.419><c> went</c><00:12:08.679><c> to,</c>

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.259
God<00:12:10.639><c> controlled</c><00:12:11.059><c> it.</c>

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:13.559
He<00:12:11.519><c> told</c><00:12:11.700><c> Isaiah</c><00:12:12.120><c> in</c><00:12:12.320><c> chapter</c><00:12:12.580><c> 44,</c>

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.360
listen,<00:12:14.120><c> O</c><00:12:14.279><c> Jacob,</c><00:12:14.620><c> my</c><00:12:14.759><c> servant</c><00:12:15.000><c> Israel,</c><00:12:15.620><c> whom</c><00:12:15.799><c> I</c><00:12:16.120><c> have</c><00:12:16.360><c> chosen.</c>

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:19.039
This<00:12:18.360><c> is</c><00:12:18.440><c> what</c><00:12:18.519><c> the</c><00:12:18.659><c> Lord</c><00:12:18.799><c> said,</c>

00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:21.740
he<00:12:19.299><c> who</c><00:12:19.500><c> made</c><00:12:19.759><c> you,</c><00:12:20.259><c> who</c><00:12:20.539><c> formed</c><00:12:20.799><c> you</c><00:12:20.980><c> in</c><00:12:21.120><c> the</c><00:12:21.360><c> womb,</c>

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.139
and<00:12:22.299><c> who</c><00:12:22.399><c> will</c><00:12:22.559><c> help</c><00:12:22.779><c> you.</c>

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.320
God<00:12:24.559><c> has</c><00:12:24.759><c> a</c><00:12:24.940><c> purpose</c><00:12:25.460><c> for</c><00:12:25.820><c> each</c><00:12:25.980><c> one</c><00:12:26.100><c> of</c><00:12:26.240><c> us.</c>

00:12:27.370 --> 00:12:29.879
And<00:12:27.659><c> he's</c><00:12:28.039><c> cared</c><00:12:28.299><c> for</c><00:12:28.620><c> us</c><00:12:28.980><c> from</c><00:12:29.179><c> the</c><00:12:29.259><c> very</c><00:12:29.500><c> beginning.</c>

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:34.860
Look<00:12:30.220><c> how</c><00:12:30.399><c> David</c><00:12:30.700><c> describes</c><00:12:31.159><c> God's</c><00:12:31.620><c> care</c><00:12:32.000><c> in</c><00:12:32.460><c> Psalms</c><00:12:33.620><c> 139.</c>

00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:38.399
He<00:12:35.460><c> says,</c><00:12:36.360><c> you</c><00:12:36.360><c> created</c><00:12:36.700><c> my</c><00:12:37.080><c> inmost</c><00:12:37.460><c> being.</c>

00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:42.360
You<00:12:40.179><c> knit</c><00:12:40.340><c> me</c><00:12:40.580><c> together</c><00:12:40.960><c> in</c><00:12:41.159><c> my</c><00:12:41.299><c> mother's</c><00:12:41.679><c> womb.</c>

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.899
I<00:12:43.360><c> praise</c><00:12:43.620><c> you</c><00:12:43.820><c> because</c><00:12:44.059><c> I'm</c><00:12:44.440><c> fearfully</c><00:12:44.879><c> and</c><00:12:45.220><c> wonderfully</c><00:12:45.559><c> made.</c>

00:12:46.179 --> 00:12:48.379
Your<00:12:46.539><c> works</c><00:12:46.919><c> are</c><00:12:47.299><c> wonderful.</c>

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.799
I<00:12:49.299><c> know</c><00:12:49.500><c> that</c><00:12:49.820><c> full</c><00:12:50.039><c> well.</c>

00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:52.940
My<00:12:51.659><c> frame</c><00:12:51.919><c> was</c><00:12:52.179><c> not</c><00:12:52.360><c> hidden</c><00:12:52.539><c> from</c><00:12:52.759><c> you</c>

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:54.480
when<00:12:53.059><c> I</c><00:12:53.179><c> was</c><00:12:53.360><c> made</c><00:12:53.539><c> in</c><00:12:53.679><c> the</c><00:12:53.860><c> secret</c><00:12:54.080><c> place,</c>

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:56.100
when<00:12:54.879><c> I</c><00:12:55.019><c> was</c><00:12:55.240><c> woven</c><00:12:55.480><c> together.</c>

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:58.240
In<00:12:56.580><c> the</c><00:12:56.779><c> depths</c><00:12:57.000><c> of</c><00:12:57.220><c> the</c><00:12:57.360><c> earth,</c>

00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.740
your<00:12:58.600><c> eyes</c><00:12:58.879><c> saw</c><00:12:59.080><c> my</c><00:12:59.360><c> unformed</c><00:12:59.779><c> body.</c>

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:05.940
All<00:13:01.559><c> the</c><00:13:01.799><c> days</c><00:13:02.179><c> ordained</c><00:13:02.720><c> for</c><00:13:02.940><c> me</c><00:13:03.639><c> were</c><00:13:04.259><c> written</c><00:13:04.519><c> in</c><00:13:04.740><c> your</c><00:13:04.919><c> book</c>

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:08.299
before<00:13:06.279><c> one</c><00:13:06.559><c> of</c><00:13:06.659><c> them</c><00:13:06.759><c> came</c><00:13:07.019><c> to</c><00:13:07.200><c> be.</c>

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.399
Now<00:13:09.600><c> David</c><00:13:09.740><c> was</c><00:13:09.960><c> a</c><00:13:10.080><c> good</c><00:13:10.639><c> man,</c>

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:15.740
but<00:13:12.120><c> he</c><00:13:12.259><c> wasn't</c><00:13:13.059><c> different</c><00:13:13.639><c> than</c><00:13:14.440><c> you</c><00:13:14.639><c> and</c><00:13:14.779><c> I.</c>

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.720
That<00:13:16.460><c> same</c><00:13:17.179><c> verse</c><00:13:17.580><c> applies</c><00:13:18.100><c> to</c><00:13:18.299><c> you</c><00:13:18.480><c> and</c><00:13:18.620><c> I.</c>

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.259
All<00:13:19.019><c> the</c><00:13:19.259><c> days</c><00:13:19.519><c> ordained</c><00:13:19.940><c> for</c><00:13:20.159><c> you</c><00:13:20.580><c> were</c><00:13:20.919><c> written</c><00:13:21.200><c> in</c><00:13:21.440><c> God's</c><00:13:21.820><c> book</c>

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:25.519
before<00:13:22.899><c> any</c><00:13:23.100><c> of</c><00:13:23.139><c> them</c><00:13:23.299><c> even</c><00:13:23.940><c> started</c><00:13:24.399><c> to</c><00:13:24.720><c> happen.</c>

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:31.139
It<00:13:28.580><c> brings</c><00:13:29.259><c> us</c><00:13:29.679><c> a</c><00:13:29.679><c> sense</c><00:13:30.000><c> of</c><00:13:30.700><c> contentment.</c>

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.279
It<00:13:31.279><c> brings</c><00:13:31.539><c> us</c><00:13:31.820><c> a</c><00:13:31.820><c> sense</c><00:13:32.080><c> of</c><00:13:32.379><c> fulfillment</c>

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.059
that<00:13:33.700><c> life</c><00:13:33.980><c> is</c><00:13:34.259><c> not</c><00:13:34.500><c> meaningless.</c>

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.100
Life<00:13:35.620><c> is</c><00:13:35.919><c> not</c><00:13:36.279><c> purposeless.</c>

00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:44.000
And<00:13:41.360><c> it</c><00:13:41.559><c> challenges</c><00:13:41.860><c> us</c><00:13:42.159><c> to</c><00:13:42.340><c> ask</c><00:13:42.559><c> ourselves</c><00:13:42.860><c> some</c><00:13:43.080><c> questions.</c>

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:47.679
What<00:13:44.659><c> have</c><00:13:45.259><c> you</c><00:13:45.500><c> done</c><00:13:46.059><c> with</c><00:13:46.899><c> the</c><00:13:47.100><c> life</c>

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.299
that<00:13:48.019><c> God</c><00:13:48.259><c> took</c><00:13:48.600><c> such</c><00:13:48.940><c> care</c><00:13:49.559><c> to</c><00:13:49.980><c> give</c><00:13:50.179><c> you?</c>

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.440
All<00:13:53.600><c> the</c><00:13:53.860><c> days</c><00:13:54.279><c> ordained</c><00:13:54.799><c> for</c><00:13:55.000><c> you</c><00:13:55.200><c> were</c><00:13:55.519><c> written</c><00:13:55.759><c> in</c><00:13:55.919><c> his</c><00:13:56.179><c> book</c>

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.379
before<00:13:56.799><c> you</c><00:13:56.980><c> were</c><00:13:57.159><c> even</c><00:13:57.379><c> born.</c>

00:13:58.940 --> 00:14:01.179
So<00:13:59.220><c> what</c><00:13:59.419><c> did</c><00:13:59.539><c> you</c><00:13:59.740><c> do</c><00:13:59.980><c> with</c><00:14:00.240><c> that?</c>

00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.120
What's<00:14:03.279><c> the</c><00:14:03.399><c> driving</c><00:14:03.799><c> force,</c>

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:06.379
the<00:14:04.399><c> motivating</c><00:14:04.960><c> force</c><00:14:05.480><c> behind</c><00:14:06.000><c> your</c><00:14:06.220><c> life?</c>

00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:09.379
Everyone<00:14:07.259><c> is</c><00:14:07.799><c> driven</c><00:14:08.139><c> by</c><00:14:08.480><c> something.</c>

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:12.539
Now<00:14:10.940><c> for</c><00:14:11.200><c> some</c><00:14:11.360><c> people</c><00:14:11.539><c> it's</c><00:14:11.740><c> very</c><00:14:12.139><c> clear.</c>

00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:15.179
They<00:14:13.419><c> wear</c><00:14:13.700><c> their</c><00:14:13.960><c> motivations</c><00:14:14.419><c> on</c><00:14:14.659><c> their</c><00:14:14.860><c> sleeve</c>

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:18.179
and<00:14:15.340><c> it</c><00:14:15.460><c> is</c><00:14:15.600><c> very</c><00:14:15.899><c> apparent</c><00:14:16.399><c> what</c><00:14:16.940><c> drives</c><00:14:17.240><c> somebody.</c>

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:20.779
Some<00:14:18.899><c> people's</c><00:14:19.340><c> actions</c><00:14:19.659><c> are</c><00:14:19.879><c> so</c><00:14:20.299><c> strong</c>

00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:26.679
and<00:14:20.980><c> so</c><00:14:21.620><c> clear</c><00:14:22.360><c> that</c><00:14:23.120><c> you</c><00:14:23.220><c> can</c><00:14:23.799><c> understand</c><00:14:24.320><c> what's</c><00:14:25.419><c> driving</c><00:14:25.700><c> them.</c>

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:29.000
But<00:14:27.519><c> some</c><00:14:27.679><c> of</c><00:14:27.820><c> us,</c><00:14:28.080><c> it's</c><00:14:28.360><c> even</c><00:14:28.720><c> less.</c>

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.460
It's<00:14:29.360><c> a</c><00:14:29.480><c> little</c><00:14:29.700><c> bit</c><00:14:29.860><c> more</c><00:14:30.139><c> confused.</c>

00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:32.000
It's<00:14:30.659><c> something</c><00:14:30.779><c> maybe</c><00:14:31.019><c> only</c><00:14:31.259><c> we</c><00:14:31.559><c> know.</c>

00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.700
Something<00:14:32.559><c> maybe</c><00:14:32.779><c> we</c><00:14:32.860><c> don't</c><00:14:33.000><c> even</c><00:14:33.159><c> think</c><00:14:33.519><c> about</c>

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:35.799
or<00:14:33.940><c> consciously</c><00:14:34.379><c> connect</c><00:14:34.799><c> to.</c>

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.420

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.380
If<00:21:53.180><c> we</c><00:21:53.359><c> could</c><00:21:53.500><c> just</c><00:21:53.680><c> get</c><00:21:53.839><c> a</c><00:21:53.980><c> new</c><00:21:54.160><c> house</c><00:21:54.660><c> with</c><00:21:55.319><c> four</c><00:21:55.759><c> bathrooms,</c>

00:21:56.819 --> 00:21:58.619
then<00:21:57.200><c> we'd</c><00:21:57.400><c> be</c><00:21:57.559><c> much</c><00:21:57.799><c> better</c><00:21:58.140><c> hosts.</c>

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.319
We<00:22:12.859><c> rationalize.</c>

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:17.619
We<00:22:13.440><c> find</c><00:22:13.680><c> great</c><00:22:14.099><c> ways</c><00:22:14.440><c> to</c><00:22:14.720><c> justify</c><00:22:15.779><c> our</c><00:22:16.859><c> materialism.</c>

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.640
It<00:22:23.299><c> becomes</c><00:22:23.559><c> a</c><00:22:23.880><c> goal</c><00:22:24.119><c> in</c><00:22:24.279><c> our</c><00:22:24.460><c> life.</c>

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:38.180

That's<00:22:50.279><c> enough.</c>

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:54.420
If<00:22:51.079><c> you</c><00:22:51.180><c> just</c><00:22:51.400><c> made</c><00:22:51.559><c> that</c><00:22:51.940><c> much,</c><00:22:52.880><c> then</c><00:22:53.039><c> you'd</c><00:22:53.279><c> have</c><00:22:53.460><c> enough.</c>

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.500
And<00:22:55.099><c> guess</c><00:22:55.220><c> what</c><00:22:55.339><c> happens</c><00:22:55.619><c> when</c><00:22:55.740><c> you</c><00:22:55.900><c> get</c><00:22:56.119><c> there</c>

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:58.119
and<00:22:56.640><c> you're</c><00:22:56.759><c> making</c><00:22:57.039><c> that</c><00:22:57.299><c> much?</c>

00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:00.240
You<00:22:58.519><c> need</c><00:22:58.680><c> 15</c><00:22:59.079><c>,000</c><00:22:59.380><c> more.</c>

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:05.200
But<00:23:02.180><c> having</c><00:23:02.740><c> more</c><00:23:03.220><c> won't</c><00:23:03.920><c> necessarily</c><00:23:04.359><c> make</c><00:23:04.579><c> you</c><00:23:04.799><c> happy.</c>

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.740
It<00:23:05.819><c> won't</c><00:23:05.940><c> make</c><00:23:06.180><c> you</c><00:23:06.359><c> important.</c>

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:08.099
It<00:23:06.920><c> won't</c><00:23:07.079><c> make</c><00:23:07.279><c> you</c><00:23:07.420><c> more</c><00:23:07.700><c> secure.</c>

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:10.960
Because<00:23:08.839><c> things</c><00:23:09.759><c> do</c><00:23:10.380><c> not</c><00:23:10.660><c> change,</c>

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.380
you<00:23:11.140><c> eventually</c><00:23:11.440><c> become</c><00:23:11.819><c> bored</c><00:23:12.140><c> with</c><00:23:12.380><c> them.</c>

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.440
And<00:23:14.220><c> you</c><00:23:14.559><c> want</c><00:23:14.859><c> newer,</c><00:23:15.519><c> bigger,</c><00:23:16.119><c> better</c><00:23:16.319><c> things.</c>

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.220
Version<00:23:18.400><c> 2</c><00:23:18.740><c>.3</c><00:23:19.420><c> is</c><00:23:20.140><c> clearly</c><00:23:20.500><c> better</c><00:23:20.819><c> than</c><00:23:21.000><c> version</c><00:23:21.359><c> 2</c><00:23:21.660><c>.1.</c>

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:24.339
That's<00:23:22.900><c> why</c><00:23:23.039><c> they</c><00:23:23.279><c> made</c><00:23:23.440><c> 2</c><00:23:23.740><c>.3.</c>

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:26.319
So<00:23:24.700><c> now</c><00:23:24.880><c> I</c><00:23:24.920><c> don't</c><00:23:25.180><c> want</c><00:23:25.380><c> 2</c><00:23:25.680><c>.1</c><00:23:26.019><c> anymore.</c>

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:28.240
I<00:23:26.500><c> want</c><00:23:26.720><c> 2</c><00:23:27.019><c>.3.</c>

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:32.660
And<00:23:28.660><c> nowadays,</c><00:23:29.559><c> it</c><00:23:29.700><c> happens</c><00:23:30.180><c> faster</c><00:23:30.779><c> and</c><00:23:31.140><c> faster</c><00:23:31.519><c> and</c><00:23:31.779><c> faster.</c>

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.779
How<00:23:33.359><c> many</c><00:23:33.500><c> of</c><00:23:33.599><c> us</c><00:23:34.099><c> have</c><00:23:34.599><c> saved</c><00:23:34.900><c> up</c><00:23:35.079><c> to</c><00:23:35.220><c> buy</c><00:23:35.480><c> something?</c>

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.839
We<00:23:35.960><c> go</c><00:23:36.140><c> buy</c><00:23:36.440><c> it.</c>

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.920
We<00:23:37.099><c> come</c><00:23:37.339><c> home,</c><00:23:37.680><c> plug</c><00:23:37.900><c> it</c><00:23:38.039><c> in</c><00:23:38.160><c> and</c><00:23:38.220><c> turn</c><00:23:38.420><c> it</c><00:23:38.619><c> on,</c>

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:42.599
and<00:23:39.359><c> an</c><00:23:39.519><c> ad</c><00:23:39.660><c> comes</c><00:23:39.900><c> up</c><00:23:40.180><c> for</c><00:23:40.599><c> the</c><00:23:40.799><c> same</c><00:23:41.039><c> thing</c><00:23:41.259><c> in</c><00:23:41.420><c> the</c><00:23:41.480><c> new</c><00:23:41.660><c> version.</c>

00:23:42.619 --> 00:23:46.259
And<00:23:42.740><c> you're</c><00:23:42.920><c> like,</c><00:23:43.160><c> oh,</c><00:23:44.180><c> I</c><00:23:44.400><c> just</c><00:23:44.680><c> bought</c><00:23:44.839><c> this</c><00:23:45.279><c> one.</c>

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:49.940
Some<00:23:48.220><c> people</c><00:23:48.500><c> are</c><00:23:48.759><c> deluded</c><00:23:49.039><c> into</c><00:23:49.279><c> thinking</c><00:23:49.559><c> that</c>

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:54.220
if<00:23:50.500><c> they</c><00:23:50.839><c> get</c><00:23:51.079><c> more,</c><00:23:52.519><c> they're</c><00:23:52.759><c> gonna</c><00:23:52.839><c> be</c><00:23:52.960><c> more</c><00:23:53.200><c> important.</c>

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.720
He<00:23:56.059><c> who</c><00:23:56.220><c> dies</c><00:23:56.700><c> with</c><00:23:57.059><c> the</c><00:23:57.220><c> most</c><00:23:57.460><c> toys</c><00:23:58.039><c> doesn't</c><00:23:58.759><c> win.</c>

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:01.700
He's<00:24:00.359><c> just</c><00:24:00.759><c> dead.</c>

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.299
And<00:24:01.920><c> the</c><00:24:02.059><c> relatives</c><00:24:02.339><c> have</c><00:24:02.599><c> a</c><00:24:02.759><c> lot</c><00:24:02.880><c> more</c><00:24:03.180><c> stuff</c><00:24:03.319><c> to</c><00:24:03.539><c> fight</c><00:24:03.740><c> over</c>

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:05.940
now<00:24:04.720><c> that</c><00:24:04.839><c> he's</c><00:24:05.079><c> dead.</c>

00:24:06.660 --> 00:24:10.500
Self<00:24:07.099><c>-worth</c><00:24:07.480><c> and</c><00:24:08.039><c> net</c><00:24:08.359><c>-worth</c><00:24:08.720><c> are</c><00:24:09.200><c> not</c><00:24:09.420><c> the</c><00:24:09.599><c> same.</c>

00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.160
And<00:24:11.259><c> we</c><00:24:11.460><c> get</c><00:24:12.160><c> confused</c><00:24:12.539><c> into</c><00:24:12.799><c> thinking</c><00:24:13.039><c> that.</c>

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.259
We<00:24:13.279><c> start</c><00:24:13.460><c> thinking,</c><00:24:13.880><c> oh,</c><00:24:14.140><c> well,</c><00:24:14.319><c> if</c><00:24:14.420><c> I</c><00:24:14.539><c> could</c><00:24:14.660><c> just</c><00:24:14.859><c> have</c><00:24:15.059><c> this,</c>

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:18.039
if<00:24:15.440><c> I</c><00:24:15.539><c> was</c><00:24:15.759><c> just</c><00:24:15.759><c> was</c><00:24:15.980><c> there,</c><00:24:16.420><c> if</c><00:24:16.539><c> I</c><00:24:16.599><c> was</c><00:24:16.700><c> able</c><00:24:16.839><c> to</c><00:24:16.940><c> do</c><00:24:17.099><c> that.</c>

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.180
And<00:24:18.880><c> it</c><00:24:19.059><c> really</c><00:24:19.460><c> doesn't</c><00:24:19.759><c> affect</c><00:24:20.279><c> who</c><00:24:20.779><c> you</c><00:24:21.140><c> are</c><00:24:21.519><c> at</c><00:24:21.799><c> the</c><00:24:22.019><c> core.</c>

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:26.079
Jesus<00:24:22.859><c> said,</c><00:24:23.940><c> no</c><00:24:24.079><c> one</c><00:24:24.359><c> can</c><00:24:24.619><c> serve</c><00:24:24.880><c> two</c><00:24:25.079><c> masters.</c>

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.920
Either<00:24:27.160><c> he'll</c><00:24:27.380><c> hate</c><00:24:27.619><c> the</c><00:24:27.839><c> one</c><00:24:28.019><c> and</c><00:24:28.180><c> love</c><00:24:28.400><c> the</c><00:24:28.619><c> other,</c>

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:31.140
or<00:24:29.240><c> he'll</c><00:24:29.319><c> be</c><00:24:29.480><c> devoted</c><00:24:29.720><c> to</c><00:24:29.880><c> the</c><00:24:30.039><c> one</c><00:24:30.180><c> and</c><00:24:30.359><c> despise</c><00:24:30.839><c> the</c><00:24:30.980><c> other.</c>

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:35.019
You<00:24:31.599><c> cannot</c><00:24:31.900><c> serve</c><00:24:32.640><c> both</c><00:24:33.079><c> God</c><00:24:33.660><c> and</c><00:24:34.380><c> materialism.</c>

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:37.140
So<00:24:35.380><c> don't</c><00:24:35.500><c> get</c><00:24:35.680><c> caught</c><00:24:35.859><c> up</c><00:24:36.039><c> in</c><00:24:36.180><c> that</c><00:24:36.740><c> race</c>

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:41.099
of<00:24:37.660><c> being</c><00:24:38.460><c> driven</c><00:24:39.140><c> by</c><00:24:39.759><c> materialism.</c>

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:43.839
And<00:24:42.619><c> last</c><00:24:42.759><c> one</c><00:24:42.839><c> we'll</c><00:24:42.960><c> talk</c><00:24:43.200><c> about</c><00:24:43.380><c> is,</c>

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.420
a<00:24:44.000><c> lot</c><00:24:44.099><c> of</c><00:24:44.200><c> people</c><00:24:44.359><c> are</c><00:24:44.619><c> driven</c><00:24:45.059><c> by</c><00:24:45.519><c> their</c><00:24:45.799><c> need</c><00:24:46.000><c> for</c><00:24:46.440><c> approval.</c>

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:52.259
My<00:24:49.539><c> father</c><00:24:49.839><c> never</c><00:24:50.119><c> really</c><00:24:50.519><c> appreciated</c><00:24:51.059><c> me.</c>

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:54.299
But<00:24:52.480><c> if</c><00:24:52.579><c> I</c><00:24:52.779><c> just</c><00:24:52.980><c> do</c><00:24:53.200><c> this</c><00:24:53.539><c> one</c><00:24:53.900><c> thing,</c>

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:58.859
then<00:24:54.839><c> he</c><00:24:55.640><c> will</c><00:24:57.420><c> appreciate</c><00:24:57.960><c> me.</c>

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:02.099

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.380
If<00:25:06.440><c> I</c><00:25:06.960><c> can</c><00:25:07.140><c> get</c><00:25:07.259><c> him</c><00:25:07.500><c> to</c><00:25:07.799><c> say,</c><00:25:08.380><c> good</c><00:25:08.420><c> job,</c>

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.819

I've<00:25:11.960><c> really</c><00:25:12.279><c> been</c><00:25:12.500><c> successful.</c>

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.819

hoping<00:30:15.940><c> that</c><00:30:16.259><c> each</c><00:30:16.539><c> change</c><00:30:16.839><c> will</c><00:30:17.119><c> settle</c>

00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:19.039
this<00:30:17.619><c> confusion</c><00:30:18.079><c> you</c><00:30:18.319><c> have</c><00:30:18.440><c> in</c><00:30:18.539><c> your</c><00:30:18.720><c> mind</c>

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:21.099
and<00:30:19.519><c> it'll</c><00:30:19.819><c> fill</c><00:30:20.019><c> the</c><00:30:20.359><c> emptiness</c><00:30:20.640><c> in</c><00:30:20.880><c> your</c><00:30:21.019><c> heart.</c>

00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:22.440
That's<00:30:21.319><c> really</c><00:30:21.480><c> what</c><00:30:21.559><c> you're</c><00:30:21.740><c> looking</c><00:30:21.920><c> to</c><00:30:22.119><c> do.</c>

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:24.940
You're<00:30:22.920><c> really</c><00:30:23.079><c> looking</c><00:30:23.220><c> to</c><00:30:23.420><c> fill</c><00:30:23.579><c> that</c><00:30:23.980><c> emptiness,</c>

00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.839
that<00:30:25.819><c> feeling</c><00:30:26.200><c> that</c><00:30:26.500><c> just,</c><00:30:27.819><c> kind</c><00:30:27.940><c> of</c><00:30:27.980><c> feeling</c><00:30:28.180><c> that</c><00:30:28.319><c> you're</c><00:30:28.480><c> not</c>

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:33.140
really<00:30:29.259><c> where</c><00:30:29.500><c> you</c><00:30:29.660><c> wanna</c><00:30:29.819><c> be,</c><00:30:31.000><c> you're</c><00:30:31.299><c> not</c><00:30:32.339><c> happy,</c>

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.660
you're<00:30:34.000><c> not</c><00:30:34.859><c> getting</c><00:30:35.880><c> out</c><00:30:36.119><c> of</c><00:30:36.319><c> life</c><00:30:36.559><c> what</c><00:30:36.900><c> you</c><00:30:37.259><c> want.</c>

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.799
And<00:30:38.220><c> you</c><00:30:38.380><c> see</c><00:30:38.619><c> others</c><00:30:39.019><c> who</c><00:30:39.259><c> you</c><00:30:39.480><c> think</c><00:30:39.720><c> are.</c>

00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:43.279
So<00:30:41.619><c> it</c><00:30:41.779><c> must</c><00:30:42.019><c> be</c><00:30:42.200><c> my</c><00:30:42.380><c> wife.</c>

00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:47.759
I<00:30:43.519><c> just,</c><00:30:43.839><c> if</c><00:30:43.960><c> I</c><00:30:44.119><c> just</c><00:30:44.619><c> find</c><00:30:45.319><c> a</c><00:30:45.440><c> new</c><00:30:45.700><c> wife,</c><00:30:46.240><c> then</c><00:30:46.400><c> I'll</c><00:30:46.640><c> be</c><00:30:46.859><c> happy.</c>

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:50.259
But<00:30:48.279><c> that</c><00:30:48.460><c> really</c><00:30:48.599><c> has</c><00:30:48.759><c> nothing</c><00:30:48.940><c> to</c><00:30:49.119><c> do</c><00:30:49.180><c> with</c><00:30:49.420><c> it.</c>

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.039
With<00:30:50.920><c> a</c><00:30:51.059><c> clear</c><00:30:51.200><c> purpose,</c><00:30:51.539><c> you</c><00:30:51.680><c> can</c><00:30:51.880><c> weed</c><00:30:52.079><c> out</c><00:30:52.660><c> the</c><00:30:52.900><c> things</c>

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.220
that<00:30:53.220><c> don't</c><00:30:53.460><c> matter</c><00:30:53.859><c> and</c><00:30:54.200><c> you</c><00:30:54.319><c> can</c><00:30:54.579><c> focus</c>

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:58.640
on<00:30:55.880><c> the</c><00:30:56.339><c> right</c><00:30:56.599><c> thing</c><00:30:57.099><c> for</c><00:30:57.279><c> you</c><00:30:57.380><c> to</c><00:30:57.539><c> do.</c>

00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:02.400
For<00:30:59.319><c> anything</c><00:30:59.700><c> to</c><00:30:59.900><c> become</c><00:31:00.119><c> powerful,</c><00:31:00.700><c> it</c><00:31:00.799><c> has</c><00:31:00.980><c> to</c><00:31:01.119><c> become</c><00:31:01.339><c> focused.</c>

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:05.859
You<00:31:02.700><c> know,</c><00:31:02.859><c> if</c><00:31:03.140><c> you</c><00:31:03.279><c> see</c><00:31:03.799><c> sunlight,</c><00:31:04.539><c> well,</c><00:31:04.779><c> you</c><00:31:04.900><c> don't</c><00:31:05.079><c> see</c><00:31:05.519><c> sunlight,</c>

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:08.660
no,<00:31:06.119><c> I</c><00:31:06.220><c> guess</c><00:31:06.359><c> in</c><00:31:06.539><c> the</c><00:31:06.640><c> winter</c><00:31:06.799><c> time,</c><00:31:07.099><c> but</c><00:31:07.440><c> if</c><00:31:07.880><c> there</c><00:31:08.059><c> was</c><00:31:08.279><c> sunlight,</c>

00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:12.559
you<00:31:08.819><c> know,</c><00:31:09.259><c> it's</c><00:31:10.279><c> warm</c><00:31:10.579><c> and</c><00:31:10.740><c> it's</c><00:31:10.880><c> bright,</c><00:31:11.039><c> but</c><00:31:11.119><c> if</c><00:31:11.279><c> you</c><00:31:11.480><c> focus</c><00:31:11.839><c> it,</c>

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.819
if<00:31:12.819><c> you</c><00:31:12.900><c> put</c><00:31:13.000><c> it</c><00:31:13.099><c> through</c><00:31:13.299><c> a</c><00:31:13.460><c> lens,</c><00:31:13.740><c> it</c><00:31:13.880><c> can</c><00:31:14.059><c> actually</c><00:31:14.359><c> burn</c><00:31:14.779><c> things.</c>

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:20.460
So<00:31:17.279><c> my</c><00:31:17.759><c> hint</c><00:31:17.900><c> number</c><00:31:18.180><c> one</c><00:31:18.339><c> is</c><00:31:18.579><c> stop</c><00:31:18.880><c> trying</c><00:31:19.119><c> to</c><00:31:19.259><c> do</c><00:31:19.339><c> it</c><00:31:19.519><c> all.</c>

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:21.980
Do<00:31:20.900><c> less.</c>

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:27.859
Focus<00:31:23.619><c> on</c><00:31:23.819><c> the</c><00:31:24.019><c> things</c><00:31:24.240><c> that</c><00:31:24.440><c> you</c><00:31:24.579><c> can</c><00:31:24.740><c> do</c><00:31:24.980><c> well</c><00:31:25.480><c> and</c><00:31:26.539><c> do</c><00:31:26.779><c> them</c><00:31:27.000><c> well.</c>

00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:31.839
That's<00:31:28.180><c> what</c><00:31:28.279><c> God</c><00:31:28.500><c> wants</c><00:31:28.759><c> from</c><00:31:28.960><c> you,</c><00:31:30.319><c> even</c><00:31:30.599><c> in</c><00:31:30.779><c> the</c><00:31:30.900><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:34.980
Knowing<00:31:32.539><c> your</c><00:31:32.779><c> purpose</c><00:31:33.059><c> also</c><00:31:33.680><c> motivates</c><00:31:34.500><c> your</c><00:31:34.779><c> life.</c>

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:38.000
You<00:31:35.299><c> see</c><00:31:35.539><c> purpose</c><00:31:36.279><c> produces</c><00:31:36.880><c> passion.</c>

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:40.960
Nothing<00:31:38.680><c> energizes</c><00:31:39.480><c> you</c><00:31:39.799><c> or</c><00:31:40.200><c> motivates</c><00:31:40.720><c> you</c>

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.200
like<00:31:41.160><c> having</c><00:31:41.420><c> a</c><00:31:41.799><c> clear</c><00:31:42.039><c> purpose.</c>

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.000
It's<00:31:44.339><c> usually,</c><00:31:45.160><c> interesting</c><00:31:45.799><c> enough,</c>

00:31:46.140 --> 00:31:48.740
it's<00:31:46.259><c> usually</c><00:31:46.819><c> meaningless</c><00:31:47.440><c> work,</c>

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:52.920
not<00:31:50.200><c> overwork</c><00:31:51.000><c> that</c><00:31:51.500><c> wears</c><00:31:51.740><c> you</c><00:31:51.960><c> out.</c>

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:58.119
If<00:31:54.019><c> you're</c><00:31:54.599><c> doing</c><00:31:54.819><c> something</c><00:31:55.059><c> that's</c><00:31:55.619><c> purposeful</c><00:31:56.259><c> and</c><00:31:57.059><c> meaningful,</c>

00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:01.500
you<00:31:58.440><c> can</c><00:31:58.640><c> do</c><00:31:58.859><c> a</c><00:31:59.220><c> lot</c><00:31:59.400><c> of</c><00:31:59.599><c> it</c><00:32:00.019><c> and</c><00:32:00.400><c> not</c><00:32:00.640><c> be</c><00:32:00.859><c> worn</c><00:32:01.000><c> out.</c>

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.279
If<00:32:02.059><c> you're</c><00:32:02.220><c> doing</c><00:32:02.319><c> something</c><00:32:02.579><c> that's</c><00:32:02.940><c> meaningless</c><00:32:03.359><c> and</c><00:32:04.319><c> useless,</c>

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.960
you<00:32:06.039><c> get</c><00:32:06.220><c> worn</c><00:32:06.460><c> out</c><00:32:06.660><c> real</c><00:32:06.980><c> quick.</c>

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:10.319
So<00:32:08.180><c> knowing</c><00:32:08.339><c> your</c><00:32:08.559><c> purpose</c><00:32:08.839><c> motivates</c><00:32:09.960><c> you.</c>

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.640
It<00:32:10.640><c> also</c><00:32:11.200><c> prepares</c><00:32:11.960><c> you</c><00:32:12.299><c> for</c><00:32:12.539><c> eternity.</c>

00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:18.519
What<00:32:14.559><c> ultimately</c><00:32:15.339><c> matters</c><00:32:15.700><c> is</c><00:32:16.059><c> what</c><00:32:16.460><c> God</c><00:32:16.880><c> says</c><00:32:17.160><c> about</c><00:32:17.400><c> your</c><00:32:17.640><c> life,</c>

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:20.259

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.859
It<00:32:20.460><c> can</c><00:32:20.619><c> be</c><00:32:20.759><c> disheartening</c><00:32:21.220><c> to</c><00:32:21.400><c> look</c><00:32:21.559><c> around</c>

00:32:21.859 --> 00:32:24.940
at<00:32:22.099><c> this</c><00:32:22.720><c> transient</c><00:32:23.339><c> nature</c><00:32:23.680><c> of</c><00:32:23.799><c> the</c><00:32:23.940><c> world</c><00:32:24.079><c> around</c><00:32:24.380><c> you</c>

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:32.240
Focusing<00:32:30.819><c> on</c><00:32:31.059><c> the</c><00:32:31.220><c> purpose</c><00:32:31.559><c> for</c><00:32:31.740><c> your</c><00:32:31.880><c> life</c>

00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.220
helps<00:32:32.480><c> you</c><00:32:32.640><c> to</c><00:32:32.759><c> realize</c><00:32:32.880><c> that</c><00:32:33.059><c> the</c><00:32:33.299><c> eternal</c><00:32:33.700><c> things</c>

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:38.259
are<00:32:34.680><c> much</c><00:32:35.039><c> more</c><00:32:35.359><c> important</c><00:32:36.059><c> than</c><00:32:36.599><c> the</c><00:32:36.779><c> earthly</c><00:32:37.019><c> things.</c>

00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.019
Eventually,<00:32:39.220><c> we're</c><00:32:39.359><c> all</c><00:32:39.559><c> gonna</c><00:32:39.779><c> stand</c><00:32:40.420><c> before</c><00:32:40.960><c> our</c><00:32:41.180><c> Father</c>

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:45.599

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:50.220
This<00:32:46.579><c> is</c><00:32:46.759><c> important</c><00:32:47.019><c> because</c><00:32:47.599><c> eternity</c><00:32:48.299><c> is</c><00:32:48.819><c> our</c><00:32:49.039><c> goal.</c>

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:31.440
Abraham,<00:38:26.400><c> David,</c><00:38:28.039><c> these</c><00:38:28.360><c> were</c><00:38:28.639><c> people</c><00:38:28.920><c> that</c><00:38:29.639><c> had</c><00:38:30.079><c> nice</c><00:38:30.360><c> lives.</c>

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:38.199
They<00:38:34.340><c> had</c><00:38:34.679><c> lots</c><00:38:35.099><c> of</c><00:38:35.400><c> food,</c><00:38:35.980><c> beautiful</c><00:38:36.300><c> homes</c><00:38:36.559><c> to</c><00:38:36.780><c> live</c><00:38:36.940><c> in.</c>

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:43.099
But<00:38:40.340><c> they</c><00:38:40.940><c> sought</c><00:38:41.559><c> something</c><00:38:42.139><c> else.</c>

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:45.300

00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.619
They<00:38:45.840><c> realized</c><00:38:46.199><c> that</c><00:38:46.480><c> this</c><00:38:46.760><c> world</c><00:38:47.000><c> is</c><00:38:47.239><c> not</c><00:38:47.440><c> what</c><00:38:47.559><c> it's</c><00:38:47.820><c> about.</c>

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:54.699
That's<00:38:51.059><c> the</c><00:38:51.179><c> kind</c><00:38:51.340><c> of</c><00:38:51.500><c> person</c><00:38:51.760><c> that</c><00:38:52.059><c> God</c><00:38:52.539><c> wants</c><00:38:53.099><c> us</c><00:38:53.539><c> to</c><00:38:53.760><c> be.</c>

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:58.699

00:38:58.699 --> 00:39:01.980
and<00:38:59.320><c> not</c><00:38:59.619><c> happy</c><00:39:00.199><c> with</c><00:39:00.699><c> what's</c><00:39:01.000><c> here</c><00:39:01.159><c> now.</c>

00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:04.159
Remember<00:39:02.719><c> what</c><00:39:02.880><c> I</c><00:39:03.000><c> said</c><00:39:03.099><c> in</c><00:39:03.320><c> the</c><00:39:03.340><c> beginning</c><00:39:03.579><c> of</c><00:39:03.719><c> the</c><00:39:03.880><c> class?</c>

00:39:04.659 --> 00:39:06.239
It's<00:39:04.920><c> not</c><00:39:05.099><c> about</c><00:39:05.340><c> you.</c>

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:09.860

00:39:09.900 --> 00:39:12.340
Life<00:39:10.159><c> is</c><00:39:10.659><c> all</c><00:39:11.000><c> about</c><00:39:11.340><c> God.</c>

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:17.480
The<00:39:14.239><c> ultimate</c><00:39:14.760><c> goal</c><00:39:15.199><c> of</c><00:39:15.460><c> the</c><00:39:15.699><c> entire</c><00:39:16.280><c> universe</c>

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.420
That's<00:39:21.699><c> the</c><00:39:21.860><c> reason</c><00:39:22.059><c> that</c><00:39:22.340><c> everything</c><00:39:22.719><c> was</c><00:39:23.059><c> created</c>
