0:00.0	This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMaz for Friday, September 23rd.
0:08.0	One of the greatest servants of our time didn't act out of duty.
0:13.0	He was motivated by joy.
0:16.0	Above all things, see to it that your souls are happy in the Lord. Whatever be done in the way of giving up,

1:37.5	Above all things, see to it that your souls are happy in the Lord.
1:43.0	Other things may press upon you. The Lord's work may
