So, there was about four years of my So, there was about four years of my So, there was about four years of my life that, [music] you know, you get life that, [music] you know, you get life that, [music] you know, you get saved. I didn't grow up in a Christian saved. I didn't grow up in a Christian saved. I didn't grow up in a Christian home. You hear the gospel, you're on home. You hear the gospel, you're on home. You hear the gospel, you're on fire for the Lord, you're zealous, fire for the Lord, you're zealous, fire for the Lord, you're zealous, you're going all in. You got, you know, you're going all in. You got, you know, you're going all in. You got, you know, you've left everything behind. You have you've left everything behind. You have you've left everything behind. You have no friends anymore. You're just, you're no friends anymore. You're just, you're no friends anymore. You're just, you're married to Jesus. And um although that married to Jesus. And um although that married to Jesus. And um although that was a very real experience in my life, was a very real experience in my life, was a very real experience in my life, sometimes it can get like a high emotion sometimes it can get like a high emotion sometimes it can get like a high emotion and that dropped very quickly. And so, and that dropped very quickly. And so, and that dropped very quickly. And so, you know, I still loved the Lord. But you know, I still loved the Lord. But you know, I still loved the Lord. But for 4 years, I was kind of just for 4 years, I was kind of just for 4 years, I was kind of just wandering around like, God, what do you wandering around like, God, what do you wandering around like, God, what do you have for me? Still loving him, still have for me? Still loving him, still have for me? Still loving him, still searching for him, still spending time searching for him, still spending time searching for him, still spending time with him, still walking the Christian with him, still walking the Christian with him, still walking the Christian life. But it was kind of an emotional life. But it was kind of an emotional life. But it was kind of an emotional roller coaster of like you experience roller coaster of like you experience roller coaster of like you experience God in a high and then you go down and God in a high and then you go down and God in a high and then you go down and it's like I haven't heard God in months it's like I haven't heard God in months it's like I haven't heard God in months and it's just kind of it's the reality and it's just kind of it's the reality and it's just kind of it's the reality of the Christian life. Um, but I came to of the Christian life. Um, but I came to of the Christian life. Um, but I came to a realization when I was here at Summit a realization when I was here at Summit a realization when I was here at Summit and what God did in my heart at Summit and what God did in my heart at Summit and what God did in my heart at Summit is that it really doesn't have to be is that it really doesn't have to be is that it really doesn't have to be like that. And God can you can abide in like that. And God can you can abide in like that. And God can you can abide in him and you can feel his presence every him and you can feel his presence every him and you can feel his presence every day and not have to go through the highs day and not have to go through the highs day and not have to go through the highs and lows and rely on your emotions and and lows and rely on your emotions and and lows and rely on your emotions and rely on if you've heard him one day, if rely on if you've heard him one day, if rely on if you've heard him one day, if you read your Bible the next. [music] you read your Bible the next. [music] you read your Bible the next. [music] And so I just want to tell you that And so I just want to tell you that And so I just want to tell you that Summit changed that in me. And God met Summit changed that in me. And God met Summit changed that in me. And God met me here and he started talking to me and me here and he started talking to me and me here and he started talking to me and [music] speaking to me and telling me, [music] speaking to me and telling me, [music] speaking to me and telling me, Savannah, you're mine and I'm yours and Savannah, you're mine and I'm yours and Savannah, you're mine and I'm yours and you don't have to do all these things to you don't have to do all these things to you don't have to do all these things to earn my love or even feel my presence. I earn my love or even feel my presence. I earn my love or even feel my presence. I live inside of you. There's a Bible live inside of you. There's a Bible live inside of you. There's a Bible verse here that or there's a Bible verse

verse here that or there's a Bible verse verse here that or there's a Bible verse in scripture that I heard here in chapel in scripture that I heard here in chapel in scripture that I heard here in chapel probably the first month or so of my probably the first month or so of my probably the first month or so of my sabbatical and I can't can't quote it sabbatical and I can't can't quote it sabbatical and I can't can't quote it right now, but the verse goes something right now, but the verse goes something right now, but the verse goes something like if your heart condemns you, God is like if your heart condemns you, God is like if your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart.
