| 0:10.6 | Say, won't he do it? Yes, he will. |
| 0:15.4 | Won't he do it? Yes, he will. He'll take a stone. |
| 0:21.7 | Make it still. |
| 0:23.5 | Yes, he will. |
| 0:27.7 | Welcome to Susie Larson Live. |
| 0:29.6 | How is so honored to get to spend this time with you. |
| 0:32.1 | In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully |
| 0:36.4 | inspire you in your faith walk, that deep in |
| 0:39.0 | your understanding of God's Word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in |
| 0:43.6 | your life. Well, maybe, just maybe, you started a new Bible reading plan, or maybe, just maybe, |

| 1:26.5 | that God wants to say to you. Maybe you've heard me say this before, but whenever my spiritual disciplines, as important as they are, whenever any of them become ought to's or should do's, for me, it's because I've lost sight of the love of God. You know, it's not that we loved God, it's that he loved us. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. It's not how high we can jump. |
| 1:46.3 | It's that he stooped down to make us great. That's what scripture says. He loved us first, |
| 1:50.9 | and he keeps loving us first. And when you move towards God, when you make space for him, when you |
| 1:58.2 | open his word in response to his love for you, everything changes. |
