This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

At 18, I didn't see it.

And some of the things he's brought into my life in the last few years is what even is allowed Hebrews 12 or the shaking or the correction to even come into my life.

When he diagnosed me as being a non-worshipper, that was very hurtful.

It's like, but he dumped it on me and dumped this, this yearning to worship.

And I thought I was a worshiper, which is usually a case.

And when he dumped that on me, it was after that that he said you

were not a worshipper which i love the grace of that to like dump that on me wasn't my idea

i just had to had to do that i had to suddenly okay i'm not okay in the back room during worship

anymore i got to get out there. That was not my idea.

So I'm not going to take credit for the brilliance of that. But it changed my whole life.

But I grew up not knowing Jesus in his presence, which is not a detriment or this is not me pointing to how I grew up or saying that wasn't good

or I love my root. I am rooted in his word. That's my root. You may be sitting there saying

I'm rooted in his presence and worship and just, I know Jesus like that.

I've been waiting for you my whole life.

I've been waiting for that my whole life.

But I'm rooted where I'm rooted.

And the Lord really, my dad was asked early on in his ministry.

You didn't really realize I think what God was doing with him back then. But he was asked to not know Jesus in his ministry, he didn't really realize, I think, what God was doing with him back then.

But he was asked to not know Jesus in his presence and seeing him and that type of knowing Jesus.

He was asked to know Jesus in His Word, which I'm so grateful for.

I'm so grateful for my root.
