I've never taught this on Revive Our Hearts, and I was pondering what we would do during this

recording session, and I said, that's what I want to do. So honey, thank you for inspiring

this passage. I love this woman in a deeper way, and I love Jesus in a deeper way than previously

as a result of the study. I hope the same will be true for you. So I hope you've made or are making
