| 0:00.0 | In today's verse 15, we're going to look at the opportunity God gives us every day |
| 0:10.0 | to simply be who we are. His pursuit of our hearts frees us as we experience his unconditional, |
| 0:18.1 | all-encompassing love. So as we open our hearts to his loving pursuit |
| 0:23.9 | today, I pray that God would do a mighty work of freedom in our hearts. Welcome to the First 15 |
| 0:30.8 | podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Psalm 139 verse 13. |

| 1:03.3 | For you formed my inward parts. |

| 2:38.0 | revelation that we are already right now, fully loved and accepted by our creator. Discovering your |
