QUIZ I AM "VERY SATISFIED WITH
00:01:44.30\00:01:45.33

WAS DEVISED IN 1980 BY
00:01:45.33\00:01:51.10
UNIVERSITY OF
ILLINOIS PROFESSOR - A FOUNDING
00:01:51.10\00:01:55.30
FATHER OF 'HAPPINESS
RESEARCH', RESEARCHERS
00:01:55.30\00:01:56.23
HAVE USED THIS SCALE
AROUND THE WORLD. 80% OF
00:01:56.23\00:02:01.83
THOSE ASKED IN A
FOLLOW UP TIME MAGAZINE POLL
00:02:01.83\00:02:07.43
ANSWERED 'YES' WHEN
ASKED "DO YOU WAKE UP HAPPY?"
00:02:07.43\00:02:08.46
AND 75% OF RESPONDENTS
CONSIDERED THEMSELVES
00:02:08.46\00:02:14.46
"OPTIMISTS!" 77% RESPONDED
THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP
00:02:14.46\00:02:19.40
WITH THEIR CHILDREN
WAS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF
00:02:19.40\00:02:20.50
HAPPINESS IN THEIR
LIFE WHILE 62% CITED THEIR
00:02:20.50\00:02:24.16
RELIGIOUS LIFE AND
WORSHIP AS THEIR MAJOR SOURCE OF
00:02:24.16\00:02:29.00
HAPPINESS. SO WHAT MAKES
US HAPPY? WELL, ACCORDING
00:02:29.00\00:02:30.00
TO RESEARCH BY DIENER
AND OTHERS IT IS NOT WEALTH!
00:02:30.00\00:02:37.40
THE RESEARCH SHOWED
THAT ONCE OUR BASIC NEEDS ARE
00:02:37.40\00:02:42.93
MET ADDITIONAL INCOME
DOES LITTLE TO RAISE OUR SENSE
00:02:42.93\00:02:44.00
OF SATISFACTION WITH LIFE.
00:02:44.00\00:02:48.63
A GOOD EDUCATION? NO,
NEITHER AN EDUCATION NOR A
00:02:48.63\00:02:49.66
HIGH IQ PAVES THE ROAD
TO HAPPINESS. YOUTH? NO,
00:02:49.66\00:02:54.40
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
OLDER PEOPLE ARE MORE
00:02:54.40\00:02:59.06
CONSISTENTLY SATISFIED
WITH THEIR LIVES THAN THE
00:02:59.06\00:03:00.13
YOUNG AND THEY ARE
LESS PRONE TO DARK MOODS.
00:03:00.13\00:03:05.80

00:03:10.30\00:03:12.46
HOW ABOUT MARRIAGE?
00:03:26.43\00:03:26.90
MARRIED PEOPLE ARE
GENERALLY HAPPIER THAN
00:03:26.90\00:03:31.20
SINGLES. INTERESTINGLY
RELIGIOUS FAITH SEEMS TO
00:03:31.20\00:03:32.16
GENUINELY LIFT THE
SPIRIT ALTHOUGH THE RESEARCHERS
00:03:32.16\00:03:39.13

00:03:42.86\00:03:43.86
I THINK WE KNOW THE ANSWER
TO THAT QUESTION. FRIENDS?

A GIANT YES. A 2002
STUDY CONDUCTED AT THE
00:03:48.13\00:03:54.70
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
BY DIENER AND SELIGMAN FOUND
00:03:54.70\00:03:55.73
THAT THE MOST SALIENT

THE 10% OF STUDENTS
WITH THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF
00:03:59.96\00:04:04.86
HAPPINESS AND THE
FEWEST SIGNS OF DEPRESSION WERE
00:04:04.86\00:04:05.83
THE STRONG TIES TO FRIENDS
AND FAMILY AND COMMITMENT
00:04:05.83\00:04:10.40
TO SPENDING TIME WITH
THEM - ACCORDING TO DIENER:
00:04:10.40\00:04:16.03
A STUDY CONDUCTED AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
00:04:28.30\00:04:29.26
AT DAVIS BY PSYCHOLOGIST
ROBERT EMMONS FOUND THAT,
00:04:29.26\00:04:32.60
WHAT HE CALLED, "GRATITUDE
EXERCISES" CAN DO A LOT TO
00:04:32.60\00:04:37.60
LIFT ONES MOOD,
IMPROVE PHYSICAL HEALTH, RAISE
00:04:37.60\00:04:38.60

ANOTHER HAPPINESS
BOOSTER PSYCHOLOGISTS
00:04:47.30\00:04:48.16
SAY IS PERFORMING ACTS
OF ALTRUISM OR KINDNESS,
00:04:48.16\00:04:52.83
VISITING A NURSING
HOME, HELPING A FRIEND'S CHILD
00:04:52.83\00:04:57.16
WITH HOMEWORK, MOWING A
NEIGHBOUR'S LAWN, WRITING
00:04:57.16\00:04:58.30
A LETTER TO A GRANDPARENT.
00:04:58.30\00:05:03.10
DOING FIVE KIND ACTS
A WEEK; ESPECIALLY ALL
00:05:03.10\00:05:04.03
IN A SINGLE DAY GAVE
A MEASURABLE BOOST TO
00:05:04.03\00:05:09.03
THE SUBJECT'S MOOD.
00:05:09.03\00:05:12.10
ONE OF THE THINGS WE
HAVE LEARNED IN OUR STUDY OF
00:05:15.96\00:05:17.00
THE BEATITUDES IS THAT
THE GREEK WORD TRANSLATED
00:05:17.00\00:05:20.63
"BLESSED" MEANS HAPPY.
IN CHRIST'S FIRST RECORDED
00:05:20.63\00:05:25.76
SERMON THE FIRST THING
HE SAID WAS THAT HE WANTED
00:05:25.76\00:05:26.80
PEOPLE TO BE HAPPY.
JESUS SAID THAT A TRULY HAPPY
00:05:26.80\00:05:32.13
PERSON IS NOT SELF-
SUFFICIENT BUT A POOR
00:05:32.13\00:05:37.10
BEGGAR THAT REALIZES
HE HAS NO RESOURCES IN
00:05:37.10\00:05:38.03
HIMSELF. A HAPPY PERSON
IS MEEK RATHER THAN PROUD,
00:05:38.03\00:05:44.10
HE MOURNS OVER SIN AND
HIS ISOLATION FROM A HOLY GOD.
00:05:44.10\00:05:51.06
A HAPPY PERSON IS
SELF-SACRIFICING AND
00:05:51.06\00:05:51.93
MERCIFUL AND WILLING TO
ENDURE PERSECUTION TO MAKE
00:05:51.93\00:05:58.70
PEACE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
00:05:58.70\00:05:59.23
MATTHEW 5: 10 - 12 SAYS,
00:05:59.23\00:06:05.10
THOSE WHO DESIRE TRUE
HAPPINESS MUST SEEK IT ON
00:06:33.13\00:06:34.13
JESUS' TERMS AS
PRESENTED IN THE SERMON ON THE
00:06:34.13\00:06:37.93
MOUNT: THERE WAS A PEANUTS
CARTOON YEARS AGO IN WHICH
00:06:37.93\00:06:43.66
LUCY ASKED CHARLIE
BROWN IF HE HAS EVER KNOWN
00:06:43.66\00:06:44.60
ANYBODY WHO WAS REALLY
HAPPY. BEFORE SHE COULD
00:06:44.60\00:06:49.40
FINISH HER
SENTENCE, HOWEVER, SNOOPY CAME
00:06:49.40\00:06:55.23
DANCING ON TIPTOE INTO
THE FRAME, HIS NOSE HIGH
00:06:55.23\00:06:56.20
IN THE AIR. HE DANCED
AND BOUNCED HIS WAY ACROSS
00:06:56.20\00:06:58.70
TWO FRAMES OF THE
CARTOON STRIP. FINALLY, IN THE
00:06:58.70\00:07:02.86
LAST FRAME, LUCY
FINISHED HER SENTENCE, "HAVE YOU
00:07:02.86\00:07:03.90
EVER KNOWN ANYBODY WHO
WAS REALLY HAPPY AND WAS STILL
00:07:03.90\00:07:09.80
IN THEIR RIGHT MIND?"
00:07:09.80\00:07:10.26
MODERN TRANSLATORS OF
THE NEW TESTAMENT TRANSLATE
00:07:10.26\00:07:14.56
JESUS' TEACHINGS KNOWN
AS THE BEATITUDES IN THIS
00:07:14.56\00:07:19.40
WAY:
00:07:19.40\00:07:20.90
THE FAMOUS TELEVISION
PASTOR ROBERT SCHULLER
00:07:32.66\00:07:33.63
EVEN GOES SO FAR AS
TO CALL THEM THE BEHAPPY
00:07:33.63\00:07:35.20
ATTITUDES. IF JESUS
DID INDEED MEAN THESE
00:07:35.20\00:07:39.56
TEACHINGS TO BE AVENUES
TO HAPPINESS, WE NEED TO KNOW
00:07:39.56\00:07:40.76
ABOUT THEM, UNDERSTAND
THEM, MAKE THEM OUR OWN.
00:07:40.76\00:07:44.96
THEY SEEM TO BE SO
OUT OF TOUCH WITH WHAT WE
00:07:44.96\00:07:49.10
CONSIDER TO BE HAPPINESS.
00:07:49.10\00:07:52.90
JESUS SEEMS TO GO OUT OF
HIS WAY TO TURN OUR ENTIRE
00:08:04.13\00:08:05.16
SYSTEM OF VALUES UPSIDE
DOWN. WHAT DOES HE MEAN,
00:08:05.16\00:08:10.46
"HAPPY ARE THE POOR IN
SPIRIT..?" WE DON'T WANT
00:08:10.46\00:08:14.80
TO BE POOR IN ANYTHING.
00:08:14.80\00:08:15.33
"HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO
MOURN..." THAT SEEMS LIKE
00:08:15.33\00:08:20.23
A CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT.
00:08:20.23\00:08:20.80
"HAPPY ARE THE MEEK..."
00:08:20.80\00:08:21.30
JUST WHEN YOU AND
I HAD SIGNED UP FOR
00:08:21.30\00:08:26.53
ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING.
00:08:26.53\00:08:27.03
"HAPPY THOSE WHO
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR
00:08:27.03\00:08:30.60
RIGHTEOUSNESS..." MAYBE
SO, BUT THEY AREN'T GOING
00:08:30.60\00:08:35.10
TO BE VERY POPULAR.
"HAPPY ARE THE MERCIFUL..." NOT
00:08:35.10\00:08:36.13
ME. I WANT REVENGE!
"HAPPY ARE THE PURE IN HEART..."
00:08:36.13\00:08:43.36
JESUS NEVER SAW ANY OF
OUR "R" RATED MOVIES. "HAPPY
00:08:43.36\00:08:48.93
ARE THE PEACEMAKERS..."
00:08:48.93\00:08:49.46
JESUS NEVER SAT ACROSS
THE TABLE FROM THE RUSSIANS.
00:08:49.46\00:08:54.96
"HAPPY ARE THOSE
WHO ARE PERSECUTED FOR
00:08:54.96\00:08:55.80
RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE..."
00:08:55.80\00:08:59.80
WHO WANTS TO BE
PERSECUTED? WHAT IS JESUS
00:08:59.80\00:09:00.76
SEEKING TO COMMUNICATE
TO US ABOUT THE NATURE
00:09:00.76\00:09:06.00
OF HAPPINESS IN
THESE BEATITUDES?
00:09:06.00\00:09:10.40
FIRST OF ALL, HAPPINESS
DOES NOT CONSIST IN THE
00:09:13.30\00:09:14.33
PURSUIT OF PLEASURE.
THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL
00:09:14.33\00:09:19.66
OF SUCCESS ARE WRONG.
00:09:19.66\00:09:20.13
HAPPINESS DOES NOT
DEPEND ON WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT
00:09:20.13\00:09:24.06
YOU OWN. MANY PEOPLE
NEVER FIND HAPPINESS BECAUSE
00:09:24.06\00:09:30.10
THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE
TO LOOK FOR IT. TOO MANY
00:09:30.10\00:09:31.06
PEOPLE MAKE THE MISTAKE
OF SEEKING ONE MORE MATERIAL
00:09:31.06\00:09:34.90
THING, ONE MORE PAY
RAISE, ONE MORE PROMOTION, ONE
00:09:34.90\00:09:39.43
MORE PROBLEM SOLVED.
"IF ONLY I HAD THAT," THEY
00:09:39.43\00:09:40.40
OFTEN SAY, "I WOULD
BE HAPPY." TOO LATE THEY
00:09:40.40\00:09:44.43
LEARN THAT HAPPINESS
DOES NOT COME FROM THE OUTSIDE
00:09:44.43\00:09:49.46
BUT FROM WITHIN. NEITHER
IS HAPPINESS FOUND IN THE
00:09:49.46\00:09:50.46
AVOIDANCE OF PAIN!
THIS IS A MORE SUBTLE TRUTH,
00:09:50.46\00:09:56.96
BUT IT IS EQUALLY AS
IMPORTANT. WHEN LEBARON
00:09:56.96\00:10:01.33
BRIGGS WAS THE
ACADEMIC DEAN AT HARVARD, A
00:10:01.33\00:10:02.36
GRADUATE STUDENT CAME TO
HIS OFFICE TO EXPLAIN WHY
00:10:02.36\00:10:06.36
HE FAILED TO COMPLETE
HIS MASTER'S THESIS ON TIME.
00:10:06.36\00:10:10.26
THE STUDENT TOLD HIM,
"I HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING
00:10:10.26\00:10:11.26
WELL." DEAN BRIGGS
REPLIED, "YOUNG MAN,
00:10:11.26\00:10:15.96
I THINK IT'S TIME YOU
REALIZE THAT MOST OF THE
00:10:15.96\00:10:19.56
WORK DONE IN THIS
WORLD IS DONE BY PEOPLE WHO
00:10:19.56\00:10:20.56
AREN'T FEELING WELL."
00:10:20.56\00:10:25.73
MANY OF US DO
EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO GO
00:10:26.96\00:10:27.86
THROUGH LIFE
AVOIDING ANY SITUATION THAT IS
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.00
POTENTIALLY UNCOMFORTABLE
OR UNPLEASANT. WE WANT
00:10:31.00\00:10:35.23
EVERYBODY TO LIKE US AND
WE WILL SACRIFICE EVEN OUR
00:10:35.23\00:10:36.36
OWN SELF-RESPECT AND
OUR WITNESS FOR CHRIST IN
00:10:36.36\00:10:42.76
ORDER NOT TO
RUFFLE ANYBODY'S FEATHERS.
00:10:42.76\00:10:48.16
THEN WE COME TO
CHRIST'S WORDS, "HAPPY ARE YOU
00:11:01.60\00:11:02.56
WHEN MEN REVILE YOU
AND PERSECUTE YOU AND
00:11:02.56\00:11:06.30
UTTER ALL KINDS OF EVIL
AGAINST YOU FALSELY ON MY
00:11:06.30\00:11:07.73
ACCOUNT..." CHRIST IS
NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE
00:11:07.73\00:11:08.70
WHO ARE DELIBERATELY
OBNOXIOUS. HE IS TALKING
00:11:08.70\00:11:10.10
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO REALIZE
THAT IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A
00:11:10.10\00:11:13.66
CHOICE BETWEEN BEING
LIKED AND BEING RESPECTED,
00:11:13.66\00:11:14.76
CHOOSE RESPECT EVERY TIME.
00:11:14.76\00:11:16.26
YOU WILL STAND TALLER
IN YOUR OWN EYES, IN YOUR
00:11:16.26\00:11:17.23
NEIGHBOR'S EYES AND
IN GOD'S EYES. HAPPINESS
00:11:17.23\00:11:20.66
IS NOT IN THE PURSUIT OF
PLEASURE OR THE AVOIDANCE
00:11:20.66\00:11:24.56
OF PAIN. WHERE THEN
IS HAPPINESS TO BE FOUND?
00:11:24.56\00:11:25.53
FIRST OF ALL,
HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN PURPOSEFUL
00:11:25.53\00:11:35.26
LIVING. IN THESE SIMPLE
SAYINGS ABOUT BLESSEDNESS
00:11:35.26\00:11:41.43
OR HAPPINESS JESUS
REALLY GIVES US A PICTURE
00:11:41.43\00:11:42.36
OF A VERY SPECIAL KIND
OF PEOPLE. THEY ARE HUMBLE,
00:11:42.36\00:11:47.03
OBEDIENT TO GOD (THAT
IS WHAT "MEEKNESS" MEANS),
00:11:47.03\00:11:51.80
PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT IT
IS TO FACE ADVERSITY. BUT
00:11:51.80\00:11:52.83
THEY ARE ALSO PEACEMAKERS.
00:11:52.83\00:11:59.96
THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO SO
THREATEN THE ESTABLISHED
00:11:59.96\00:12:01.00
ORDER OF THINGS THAT
THEY ARE PERSECUTED. THEY ARE
00:12:01.00\00:12:05.06
NOT THE PASSIVE PIOUS
BUT THE COMPLETELY COMMITTED.
00:12:05.06\00:12:10.03
SUCH A SENSE OF
PURPOSE ABOUT LIFE, JESUS WOULD
00:12:10.03\00:12:11.06
HAVE US KNOW, IS ESSENTIAL
TO REAL HAPPINESS. THERE
00:12:11.06\00:12:16.93
IS A STORY TOLD ABOUT
A YOUNG SOLDIER IN THE US
00:12:16.93\00:12:24.46
CIVIL WAR WHO GOT
SICK ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND
00:12:24.46\00:12:25.43
WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
TENT. LYING ON A COT, HE
00:12:25.43\00:12:27.90
PLEADED WITH THE DOCTOR,
"OH, DOCTOR, DON'T TELL ME
00:12:27.90\00:12:32.16
I'M NOT FIT FOR DUTY.
00:12:32.16\00:12:32.83
DON'T TELL ME I CAN'T GO
BACK. IT'S ONLY A TOUCH OF
00:12:32.83\00:12:36.53
FEVER, DOC, AND THE
SOUND OF THE BUGLE WILL MAKE ME
00:12:36.53\00:12:37.56
WELL AGAIN." THAT IS
THE FIRST CONCLUSION, WHICH
00:12:37.56\00:12:42.96
WE CAN DERIVE FROM
THESE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD.
00:12:42.96\00:12:48.13
HAPPINESS IS FOUND
IN GIVING OURSELVES TO A
00:12:48.13\00:12:49.10
HIGH AND NOBLE PURPOSE.
00:12:49.10\00:12:53.26
SECOND, HAPPINESS IS
FOUND IN BEING PEOPLE ORIENTED.
00:12:53.26\00:12:54.33
INDEED, SUCH TERMS AS
MEEKNESS AND MERCIFULNESS
00:12:54.33\00:13:00.30
AND PURE IN HEART
SUGGEST A WILLINGNESS TO
00:13:00.30\00:13:05.20
SUBORDINATE OUR
DESIRES TO THE WELLBEING OF
00:13:05.20\00:13:06.16
OTHERS. PLEASE DO NOT
MISUNDERSTAND. WE ARE NOT
00:13:06.16\00:13:11.20
TALKING ABOUT BECOMING
A DOORMAT FOR OTHERS TO
00:13:11.20\00:13:16.26
TRAMPLE UPON.
00:13:16.26\00:13:18.16
IT'S LIKE THE WORDS
OF THAT FAMOUS 60'S SONG:
00:13:18.83\00:13:19.90
"PEOPLE WHO NEED
PEOPLE ARE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE
00:13:19.90\00:13:23.16
IN THE WORLD." HAPPINESS
IS BEING PEOPLE ORIENTED.
00:13:23.16\00:13:27.23
LASTLY, HAPPINESS IS TO
BE FOUND IN A PASSION FOR
00:13:30.16\00:13:31.20
GOD. THE MISSIONARY E.
00:13:31.20\00:13:35.46
STANLEY JONES COUNTED
HIMSELF TO BE ONE OF THE
00:13:35.46\00:13:36.56
HAPPIEST PEOPLE
ALIVE. HE ONCE WROTE:
00:13:36.56\00:13:41.40
FIND A HUMBLE PERSON
WITH A PURE HEART, A PURPOSE
00:14:34.16\00:14:35.20
FOR LIVING, A LOVE FOR
PEOPLE AND A COMMITMENT
00:14:35.20\00:14:38.33
TO GOD AND YOU WILL FIND
A HAPPY MAN OR WOMAN. THOUGH
00:14:38.33\00:14:44.13
THAT PERSON MAY HAVE
SUFFERED UNIMAGINABLE
00:14:44.13\00:14:45.06
ILLS, HE OR SHE WILL
HAVE A PEACE AND A CONFIDENCE
00:14:45.06\00:14:49.76
THAT NOTHING IN THIS
WORLD CAN DEFEAT. DO YOU WANT
00:14:49.76\00:14:55.26
TO BE HAPPY REALLY HAPPY?
00:14:55.26\00:14:55.80
THIS IS THE FORMULA.
IT'S NOT FOUND IN PURSUING
00:14:55.80\00:15:02.70
PLEASURE OR AVOIDING PAIN.
00:15:02.70\00:15:03.26
IT IS FOUND IN HAVING
SOMETHING GREAT TO LIVE
00:15:03.26\00:15:07.93
FOR, IN LOVING OTHER
PEOPLE AND IN PUTTING GOD
00:15:07.93\00:15:08.90
FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. ON
THE WALL IN HIS BEDROOM,
00:15:08.90\00:15:15.73
CHARLES SPURGEON HAD A
PLAQUE WITH ISAIAH 48:10
00:15:15.73\00:15:20.36
ON IT:
00:15:20.36\00:15:22.26
AN UNKNOWN POET WROTE:
00:15:54.63\00:15:56.23
SO MANY TIMES
I'VE QUESTIONED CERTAIN
00:16:18.83\00:16:19.66
CIRCUMSTANCES
00:16:19.66\00:16:24.66
OR THINGS I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND
00:16:25.00\00:16:30.83
MANY TIMES IN TRIALS,
WEAKNESS BLURS MY VISION
00:16:31.40\00:16:37.36
AND MY FRUSTRATION
GETS SO OUT OF HAND
00:16:37.66\00:16:43.83
ITS THEN I AM REMINDED
I'VE NEVER BEEN FORSAKEN
00:16:44.26\00:16:50.10
I'VE NEVER HAD TO
STAND ONE TEST ALONE
00:16:50.46\00:16:56.46
AS I LOOK AT ALL THE VICTORIES
00:16:56.76\00:17:00.20
THE SPIRIT RISES UP IN ME
00:17:00.56\00:17:03.90
AND ITS THROUGH THE FIRE
MY WEAKNESS IS MADE STRONG
00:17:04.30\00:17:09.80
HE NEVER PROMISED THAT
THE CROSS WOULD NOT GET HEAVY
00:17:10.40\00:17:19.70
AND THE HILL WOULD
NOT BE HARD TO CLIMB
00:17:20.00\00:17:26.10
HE NEVER OFFERED OUR
VICTORIES WITHOUT FIGHTING
00:17:26.53\00:17:32.40
BUT HE SAID HELP
WOULD ALWAYS COME IN TIME
00:17:32.66\00:17:39.26
JUST REMEMBER WHEN
YOUR STANDING IN THE
00:17:39.53\00:17:40.40
VALLEY OF DECISION
00:17:40.40\00:17:45.33
AND THE ADVERSARY SAYS GIVE IN
00:17:45.70\00:17:51.00
JUST HOLD ON,
OUR LORD WILL SHOW UP
00:17:51.30\00:17:57.26
AND HE WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH THE FIRE AGAIN
00:17:57.70\00:18:04.93
I KNOW WITHIN
MYSELF THAT I SHOULD PERISH
00:18:05.43\00:18:11.73
BUT IF I TRUST THE HAND
OF GOD, HE'LL SHIELD THE
00:18:12.06\00:18:13.06
FLAMES OF HELL, AGAIN
00:18:13.06\00:18:22.23
HE NEVER PROMISED THAT
THE CROSS WOULD NOT GET HEAVY
00:18:22.93\00:18:29.23
AND THE HILL WOULD
NOT BE HARD TO CLIMB
00:18:29.53\00:18:35.03
HE NEVER OFFERED OUR
VICTORIES WITHOUT FIGHTING
00:18:36.73\00:18:41.76
BUT HE SAID HELP
WOULD ALWAYS COME IN TIME
00:18:42.06\00:18:48.76
JUST REMEMBER WHEN
YOUR STANDING IN THE
00:18:49.16\00:18:50.03
VALLEY OF DECISION
00:18:50.03\00:18:55.16
AND THE ADVERSARY SAYS GIVE IN
00:18:55.46\00:19:00.86
JUST HOLD ON,
OUR LORD WILL SHOW UP
00:19:01.10\00:19:06.90
AND HE WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH THE FIRE AGAIN
00:19:07.23\00:19:08.16
JUST HOLD ON,
OUR LORD WILL SHOW UP
00:19:08.16\00:19:19.70
AND HE WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH THE FIRE AGAIN
00:19:20.73\00:19:35.76
