  108. late search like a great shoe and I don't know,

  109. I don't know anyone has done the research. I've not

  110. got read all the journals this message. You guys can go.

  111. You have access to online journalists and got read it.

  112. But people have not really pointed back to the void

  113. that human beings have. Now what you put it down,

  114. your share your meal like you said, you go down today,

  115. learn when concerner or just high fasteing down your run

  116. her juice bad uh jonah like she she's single members

  117. for So the original void, the original longing, actually comes

  118. from the creation itself form single woman. That's the trunks

  119. that woman that's alight. When human beings were first created

  120. with Adam, and you've God created men with that longing

  121. of having a personal relationship with men. Yeah, bathe out

  122. that holda talman eating? Is it yo? Baithed out like

  123. she concern guancie. So who do you got create? First?

  124. Sension has to say, oh, good job Adam. Okay, God

  125. created Adam, but he said that men should not be alone.

  126. Hence he created Na that Yeah, how you showal she

  127. rung had ego to tules. So God's original design itself

  128. for us is that all of us, we are part

  129. of a certain amount of relationship with each other and

  130. part of a community or a family. Sasion had woman

  131. that she said, woman, just go to Eger and the taileman,

  132. take a guancy. You're eating that took a guancy eating

  133. the great issue and the first day all of us

  134. are created, create that and born were born into a

  135. family now et and justice by just a thrue s

  136. wholenesso egat. And sometimes you're like, I don't want to

  137. be in this family, but too bad. You know, we're

  138. born into it and it has been chosen. We have

  139. God has chosen us to be part of this family

  140. many and so I will be all like she chosen

  141. that wisdom. Because all right, so that is the introduction

  142. to what I have shared. So I'm going to go

  143. to the first point now that mad So the first

  144. point is from Isaiah. We can look at the verse

  145. verse from Isaiah chapter four, the three verse one. And

  146. when I can't Easiah, so these sisters and down the

  147. et and okay, you can pass it to u Nie, Yes,

  148. m the U Nie sister ambassador for in t so

  149. I they're for the tree verse one for the tri one.

  150. But now this is what the Lord says, you created

  151. you old Draco you who formed you, Oh Israel, fear

  152. not for I reademed you.

  153. I have summon you by name. You are mine, you

  154. are mine, Thank you. Second, so this is down the Yeah,

  155. it's easily. Then no, wait that our high part. He

  156. need the main down, he needs to show water. And

  157. then the second verse is from First Bitter chapter two,

  158. verse nine. There should be the change should the down

  159. di joh next First Bitter two verse nine. But say

  160. it's before second Bitter.

  161. Mm hmm, Peter t wayr Namon should pay tention the

  162. doo lake hu yo.

  163. U yo jin the this.

  164. Just shoo s yo genteymen, young gentleman, true here and

  165. rude she to the.

  166. Maid the first Bitter second uh, First Bitter chapter two,

  167. verse nine. But you are a chosen generation, the royal priesthood,

  168. the holy nation, his own special people, that you may

  169. proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of

  170. darkness into his marveless light.

  171. So like in n I V.

  172. Version for First Bitter to nine, right, it says we

  173. are God's special possession. Just fan, it's just shot down

  174. a woman show to take a great shoe and before

  175. you know we you know or you know it's I

  176. talk about, you know how Maslow and different studies talk

  177. about trying to find out you know, humans longiness category

  178. you you like she shot out run, you know, people

  179. wanting to just find a place called home. Do you

  180. put on the red like a gray show like she?

  181. As believers, we need to first understand before we belong

  182. to anything that is on this earth, you know, before

  183. we are part of anything that is that is of

  184. human nature, we first belong to the lot consal teen

  185. shoe that's had a gray show. You even her the

  186. eager search, you know ste that's helps out Graho. So

  187. this is the first point that we belong to God

  188. woman's shoe, and this is the foundation of who we are,

  189. our identity and our yes a woman the woman that

  190. take a gandhi. Because if our identity and our words

  191. is founded off on anything that's on this earth which

  192. is perishable, woman that's a certain and high woman that thing,

  193. so think you the we will be disappointed now eating

  194. And the other verse that I want us to turn

  195. to is efficient chapter one, verse four to five, that

  196. kind of efo. So if it's just one verse four

  197. to five.

  198. Jill Us to woman, the woman mention you in eye

  199. woman you under there, So you're the eating woman.

  200. Yes, the fun Ephesians chapter one, verse four to five,

  201. having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ

  202. to himself according to the good pleasure of his will. Sorry, sorry,

  203. just as he chose us and chose us in him

  204. before the foundation of the world, that we should be

  205. holy and without blame before him in love, Having predestined

  206. us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself

  207. according to the good pleasure of his will. Yeah, so

  208. God has adopted us into his family. So sad balman

  209. God jari and caught us, caught us his children. Is

  210. it mine? Okay? And caught us his children. Who Yeah, gentlemen,

  211. it hard the earth and like how a parent you

  212. know when the child is first born into the earth,

  213. this earth heights just the chosen you eager, jatiness, help

  214. and and and and when the child is born usually

  215. usually not all the time, but usually parents who already

  216. have an idea of what to name the child town

  217. pushing totown the heided like she hides to she mean,

  218. and immediately when the mom gives birth to the child

  219. and the child comes out, the name is being mentioned,

  220. hides the sure means sound. You know, no, Mom, I

  221. don't get as until roof for silver. No, no, Mom

  222. would say, hey you you're out, mama face need to like, yeah, hey,

  223. way you look so cute someone I know, right, you know,

  224. really saying you know, sounita or declan beleve a child.

  225. That's that's not the modern English. But yeah, the name

  226. of the child is mentioned. Height you are just to

  227. pay and then Daniel will be so happy, you know,

  228. carrying the child and hand, you know, just calling that

  229. clan or by name. Things about hides it like every

  230. parent will call the child by name. Every parent, she

  231. means she hides it. Sometimes naughty the whole name wi

  232. also come up one peter woman shaming the or everything else.

  233. All write the full name uh and and and the

  234. name a parent calls the name of the child uh it.

  235. She shows how in the relationship is she said that

  236. she hides the means. She said, you type type and

  237. when you know someone personally, well you know them in

  238. a way. You know you remember the name like she

  239. even singer and had the means and and you know

  240. even from far through the footsteps, you already know that

  241. this person is coming. You don't see. You already know

  242. who the person is down highlight. She's like that, and

  243. and that speaks of intimacy. Now the Guan sea. So

  244. God adopted us into his family, called us his children,

  245. called us his you know in Isaiah for the tree

  246. as well, called us his possession. Hijen Balan had the

  247. hides because we have this personal intimacy with him, girl,

  248. and and because we are his and we belong to him. Now,

  249. no woman's your shot hard. And the second point now

  250. is from First Corindiance chapter twelve, the fourteen shoe mm hmm,

  251. changing rights, First Intense fourteen.

  252. Okay, First Corinthians twelve twelve to fourteen. For as the

  253. body is one and has many members, but all the

  254. members of that one body, being many, are one body,

  255. so also is Christ. For by one spirit, we were

  256. all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether

  257. slaves are free, and all have been made to drink

  258. into one spirit. For in fact, the body is not
