Speaker 1: Now during this series, we've looked at God's five purposes
Speaker 1: for your life. You are not an accident. They are
Speaker 1: accidental parents. There are no accidental children. They're illegitimate parents.
Speaker 1: There are no illegitimate children. Your parents may not have
Speaker 1: planned you, but God did, and he planned you even
Speaker 1: before the foundation of the world. And your life has value,
Speaker 1: and your life has significance. And you are not an accident.
Speaker 1: And the Bible says that God created you for five purposes,
Speaker 1: for five reasons, for five assignments. The Bible calls them
Speaker 1: your callings in life, your vocation in your life. Your
Speaker 1: vocation is far more than your career. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's your reason for existence. And God says I made
Speaker 1: you for five reasons. Now we looked first at I
Speaker 1: am called to be loved. The number one purpose of
Speaker 1: your life is you were made to be loved by God.
Speaker 1: And until you get that, nothing else is going to
Speaker 1: make sense. You're made by God and for God, and
Speaker 1: He made you to love you in that base of love.
Speaker 1: When you feel totally completely loved by God, then you
Speaker 1: have the capacity to move into every area of life
Speaker 1: that He wants you to move into and to experience
Speaker 1: life in all its fullness. But first you're called to
Speaker 1: be loved by God. Then we looked at the next
Speaker 1: week at your called to belong. You're called to not
Speaker 1: just be loved, You're called to belong. You're called to
Speaker 1: belong to His family. You were not meant to go
Speaker 1: through life on your own. You're not alone, ranger. You
Speaker 1: are made for connection. You are made for community, and
Speaker 1: we find our meeting and purpose in our relationships to
Speaker 1: each other. You're made, You're created. You're called to belong.
Speaker 1: Then we looked at the third calling in your life.
Speaker 1: You're called to become. God has plans for your life.
Speaker 1: He made you to become what He wants you to be.
Speaker 1: You can't be anybody in the world. People will tell
Speaker 1: you that. It's just not true. No matter how hard
Speaker 1: I try, I'm never going to be an opera singer.
Speaker 1: And no matter how hard I try, I'm never going
Speaker 1: to be good at certain sports. I'm just not wired
Speaker 1: that way. You can be who God has made you
Speaker 1: to become, and joy getting in the Jay zone is
Speaker 1: when you become who God made you to be. You're
Speaker 1: called to be loved, You're called to belong, You're called
Speaker 1: to become. And then last week we looked at the
Speaker 1: fourth calling in your life. You're called to bless, You're
Speaker 1: called to bless others. God didn't put you on the
Speaker 1: earth to live a selfish little claw of a life
Speaker 1: where it's all about me. No, it's not all about you.
Speaker 1: It's all about God. It's all about others. And we
Speaker 1: find our true meaning and purpose only as we give
Speaker 1: our lives away. And as I bless other people, I
Speaker 1: am blessed myself. And as I help others, I am
Speaker 1: help myself. It's the law of so and reaping. But
Speaker 1: when you sow a seed, you don't just get one
Speaker 1: seed back, you get multiple seeds back. So whatever you
Speaker 1: sow in life, you're going to get back more of
Speaker 1: You sow criticism, you get back more criticism. But you
Speaker 1: sow praise, you get back more praise. And you're called
Speaker 1: to bless other people with your life using what we
Speaker 1: call your shape, shape, your spiritual gifts, your heart, your abilities,
Speaker 1: your personality, and your experience. And nobody is uniquely shaped
Speaker 1: like you are. You have a unique voice, print, iPrint, mouth, handprint, footprint, heartbeat,
Speaker 1: emotional beat, and God doesn't want you to be anybody else.
Speaker 1: And when you get to heaven one day, he's not
Speaker 1: going to say, why won't you more like somebody else?
Speaker 1: He's going to say, why won't you more like you?
Speaker 1: I made you to be you? Unless you be you?
Speaker 1: Who's going to be you? Now? Tonight we look at
Speaker 1: the fifth calling, and this is the calling of being sent.
Speaker 1: I'm called to belong, I'm called to be loved, I'm
Speaker 1: called to become, I'm called to bless and I'm called
Speaker 1: to be said. Now, I want you to write this
Speaker 1: down on your outline. God's plan for history. If you
Speaker 1: want to know the purpose of history, here it is
Speaker 1: He's gathering a family. God is gathering a family that
Speaker 1: will love and live with him forever. The Bible makes
Speaker 1: us very very clear, and the message was brought to
Speaker 1: us first by the nation of Israel. God gave this
Speaker 1: message to the Jews to give to the rest of us,
Speaker 1: and now we are to pass it on to others
Speaker 1: that God's plan for history is that He's gathering a
Speaker 1: family that will love and live with him forever. If
Speaker 1: God hadn't wanted a family, he wouldn't have created a universe,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have created the human race. He wouldn't have
Speaker 1: created you and me. The Bible says this in Ephesians,
Speaker 1: chapter one, verse five, look up here on the screen.
Speaker 1: His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into
Speaker 1: his own family. This is God to adopt us into
Speaker 1: his own family by bringing this to himself through Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: and this gave him great pleasure. All of us are
Speaker 1: created by God, all of us are loved by God,
Speaker 1: but not everybody is a child of God. You got
Speaker 1: to choose to be in the family. In fact, there's
Speaker 1: only two ways to get into family, be born into
Speaker 1: it or be adopted into it, and the Bible uses
Speaker 1: both of these metaphors. Spiritual rebirth and adoption is what
Speaker 1: it means to get into God's family. Now for that
Speaker 1: to happen. God's whole purpose in creating the universe is
Speaker 1: to gather a group of people who choose willingly to
Speaker 1: love him. And God gives me a free choice to
Speaker 1: love or reject him. And God says, you ought to
Speaker 1: give everybody else a free choice to love or of Jeppy,
Speaker 1: it's not faith if it's forced. So we don't believe
Speaker 1: in coercion. We believe in persuasion. We believe may the
Speaker 1: best idea when but we don't believe in coercion, because
Speaker 1: God says, I created you to love me, and it's
Speaker 1: not love unless I can choose to not love him.
Speaker 1: But those who choose to love him become a part
Speaker 1: of God's family. Now, once God's family is gathered together,
Speaker 1: we go into phase two, which is after earth, which
Speaker 1: is after eternity, and that is excuse me, after life.
Speaker 1: It's in eternity where the real life begins. This is
Speaker 1: the preschool, This is the warm up back. This is
Speaker 1: a dress rehearsal. This is the first lap around before
Speaker 1: the real race begins. The race, the real life is eternity. Now,
Speaker 1: for God to gather his family, somebody has to pass
Speaker 1: on the good news. And here's what the Bible says
Speaker 1: in Romans chapter ten, verses thirteen to fifteen. Anyone who
Speaker 1: calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Speaker 1: That's a promise. But he says, how can they call
Speaker 1: on him to save them unless they believe in him?
Speaker 1: And how can they believe in him if they've never
Speaker 1: heard of him? And how can they hear about him
Speaker 1: unless someone tells them? And how can anyone go and
Speaker 1: tell them without being sent circle the word sent. This
Speaker 1: is the fifth calling of your life. You are called
Speaker 1: to be sent. This is what the scripture means when
Speaker 1: they say how beautiful are the feet of those who
Speaker 1: bring good news. Now what this verse means is this
Speaker 1: my fifth purpose in life? My fifth calling in life
Speaker 1: is this. I'm sent to bring others into God's family.
Speaker 1: I'm sent to bring others in God's family. The moment
Speaker 1: I step across the line spiritually, God wants me to
Speaker 1: share the good news with others. You know, if I
Speaker 1: had the cure for AIDS and I kept it a
Speaker 1: secret and I didn't tell anybody, that would be criminal.
Speaker 1: In fact, they'll put me in prison. If I had
Speaker 1: that good news and didn't telp people, I should be incarcerated.
Speaker 1: If I had the cure for cancer and I didn't
Speaker 1: tell anybody about it, that would be criminal. But God
Speaker 1: has given us an even greater message. How to have
Speaker 1: our past forgiven, how to have a purpose for living,
Speaker 1: how to have a home in heaven and then not
Speaker 1: share that would be criminal. So my fifth purpose in
Speaker 1: calling in life is I'm sent to bring others into
Speaker 1: God's family. The Bible says in First Corinthias, Second Corinthians
Speaker 1: five eighteen. Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself.
Speaker 1: Then God gave us the work of bringing others into
Speaker 1: peace with him. I want you to circle the word
Speaker 1: peace twice there on your notes. God made peace between
Speaker 1: us and himself through Jesus. Then God gave us the
Speaker 1: work of bringing others into peace with him. So God's
Speaker 1: not mad at you. You can be at peace with him. Now.
Speaker 1: This is God's eternal peace plan. The Bible calls it
Speaker 1: the Ministry of Reconciliation. One day, Jesus is walking down
Speaker 1: the street and a guy comes up to and says, Lord,
Speaker 1: what's the most important verse in the Bible? And Jesus
Speaker 1: that I can summarize the whole Bible and two sentences.
Speaker 1: Here's cliff notes on the Bible. Here's the whole Bible
Speaker 1: in two sentences. Love God with all your heart, and
Speaker 1: love your neighbor as yourself. Be reconciled to God, and
Speaker 1: be reconciled to each other. Make peace with God and
Speaker 1: make peace with each other. Stop your war with God,
Speaker 1: stop your war with each other in the conflict with God,
Speaker 1: and then you'll be able to end the conflict with
Speaker 1: each other. Get the Prince of peace in your life,
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to live at peace. It's all
Speaker 1: about relationships. Life is not about accomplishments. It's not about achievements.
Speaker 1: It's not allow about acquisitions. It's about relationships. Your relationship
Speaker 1: to God, your relationship to yourself, and your relationship to
Speaker 1: other people. Love God with all your heart, and love
Speaker 1: your neighbors, yourself. Oh, this is the ministry of reconciliation.
Speaker 1: This is what God calls we call the peace plan.
Speaker 1: Make peace with God and then make peace with others
Speaker 1: and bring the peace of God into their lives. Now,
Speaker 1: this peace plan, of God's eternal peace plan, will only
Speaker 1: happen if you fulfill your fifth calling. The Bible says
Speaker 1: it like this, John chapter twenty, verse twenty one. In fact,
Speaker 1: let's read this verse aloud together. Let's read it aloud
Speaker 1: with great enthusiasm. Jesus said, peace be with you, as
Speaker 1: the Father has sent me. I am sending you now again.
Speaker 1: Circle three words, circle the word peace. It's the peace plan.
Speaker 1: Peace be with you. We get peace with God, and
Speaker 1: we give the peace of God, and we explain the
Speaker 1: peace of God to others. As the Father has sent me.
Speaker 1: I'm sending you circle the words and sending. This is
Speaker 1: your fifth calling, and this is the one calling that
Speaker 1: most people want to shy away from. I can imagine
Speaker 1: some people get in heaven and God says, Okay, let's
Speaker 1: go through the purposes. I created you for the reasons
Speaker 1: you exist. Let's go through the callings I give in
Speaker 1: your life. Did you let me love you your call
Speaker 1: to be loved? Yes? Got that one? Bingo you're call
Speaker 1: to belong, got that one. I did that. You're called
Speaker 1: the book to become. Got that? Did that You're called
Speaker 1: the bus. Others got that you're called to be sent
Speaker 1: and passed it on to others? Ah, wrong answer, I
Speaker 1: didn't do that one. And God's gonna say, and what
Speaker 1: were you thinking? You think I put you on earth
Speaker 1: to live for yourself. Once you have the good news,
Speaker 1: don't you pass it on to others? Jesus said it
Speaker 1: like this in John fifteen sixteen. You did not choose me,
Speaker 1: but I chose you, and I appointed you to go
Speaker 1: circle the word to go. I've appointed you to go.
Speaker 1: Part of your appointment, part of your mission in life.
Speaker 1: Your life mission is to go. You are to sent,
Speaker 1: and you were to go. I chose you and appointed
Speaker 1: you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. Now,
Speaker 1: fruit is a metaphor for a successful life, a fulfilling life,
Speaker 1: a productive life, a fruitful life. And Jesus said, I
Speaker 1: want you to bear fruit in your life that will last,
Speaker 1: that will last. Let me, now, let me be honest
Speaker 1: with you. Most of what you do in life isn't
Speaker 1: going to last. Most of what I do in life
Speaker 1: isn't going to last. The things that we spend most
Speaker 1: of our time on people aren't even going to remember
Speaker 1: in ten years, much less than thirty fifty or one hundred.
Speaker 1: Most of the things you do in your life, it
Speaker 1: isn't going to last. Nobody's going to care what movies
Speaker 1: you went to, what books you read, what how you
Speaker 1: spent your summer. And Jesus said, I want you to
Speaker 1: do something with your life that lasts. Now. There are
Speaker 1: only two things are going to last forever, truth and people.
Speaker 1: Truth and people. So if you invest your life in
Speaker 1: truth and in people, then you're investing your life in
Speaker 1: things at last. Can you imagine getting to heaven one
Speaker 1: day and somebody comes up and says, I just want
Speaker 1: to thank you, and you say thank you. I don't
Speaker 1: even know you said no, you don't know me. But
Speaker 1: you helped in a ministry, you helped in a project,
Speaker 1: a humanitarian effort, you helped in your church. And you
Speaker 1: know what, you did something that caused me to get
Speaker 1: to know God. And I'm going to be in heaven
Speaker 1: because of you. I'm your friend forever.
Speaker 2: Pastor Rick has put together a special resource called Daily
Speaker 2: Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life to help you reflect
Speaker 2: on the key Bible verses found in his best selling book,
Speaker 2: The Purpose Driven Life.
Speaker 1: As you dive.
Speaker 2: Deeper into these verses, you'll experience the transforming power of
Speaker 2: God's words. This beautiful hardcover gift book features gold detailing
Speaker 2: on the cover and has three hundred eleven pages filled
Speaker 2: with scripture and also includes reflection pages so you can
Speaker 2: record the life changing truths God reveals to you. This
Speaker 2: book is a wonderful spiritual growth tool and it makes
Speaker 2: a perfect gift for your friends and family. When you
Speaker 2: give a gift to help daily Hope share the Gospel
Speaker 2: with people around the world, will send you a copy
Speaker 2: of Daily Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life to say thanks.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that two thousand years later after Jesus came
Speaker 1: to there's still three thousand tribes that had never even
Speaker 1: heard of Jesus. Now there's small tribes between five thousand
Speaker 1: people and at the most one hundred thousand. But you
Speaker 1: know what, God loves him as much as he loves you,
Speaker 1: and Europe and the United States of America and every
Speaker 1: the place. And God says, I want you to send
Speaker 1: you to go to those people. But that's really kind
Speaker 1: of like going to the moon. We know where these
Speaker 1: three thousand tribes are, like, for instance, four hundred of
Speaker 1: those tribes are in Sudan, very difficult places to reach politically, economically,
Speaker 1: and even in travel. And he said, that's where we
Speaker 1: want to go as a church. Jesus says, go to
Speaker 1: all the world and go to all the tribes. And
Speaker 1: so he said, let's let's do it twice. In the
Speaker 1: Book of Revelation, that's the last book in the Bible,
Speaker 1: there are verses that give us a scene from heaven
Speaker 1: in the future, and it says this that one day
Speaker 1: in heaven, all surrounding God will be people from every nation,
Speaker 1: every tribe, every language, and every people group who have
Speaker 1: chosen to love Him, who have chosen to love God
Speaker 1: and are part of his family. They are in the
Speaker 1: family of God, and it says there will be people
Speaker 1: from every tribal there's a problem with that. There's still
Speaker 1: three thousand tribes who haven't heard the good news. The
Speaker 1: Bible says this in Acts one to eight. They're in
Speaker 1: your outline. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit
Speaker 1: comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in
Speaker 1: Jerusalem and in Judea, and in Samaria and to the
Speaker 1: ends of the world. I want you to circle the
Speaker 1: ANNs Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and in the world.
Speaker 1: In other words, it's simultaneous, non sequential. When Jesus gave
Speaker 1: these instructions, where were they in Jerusalem? So what's he saying?
Speaker 1: I want you to start where you are, start in
Speaker 1: your own city. The Bible says this in Acts Chapter twenty,
Speaker 1: verse twenty four. The most important thing you're talking about
Speaker 1: in my entire life, the most important thing with my
Speaker 1: life is that I complete my mission. God has a
Speaker 1: mission for your life. God has a life message he
Speaker 1: wants to say to the world to you, and God
Speaker 1: has a life mission for your life. The most important
Speaker 1: thing that I is my complete my mission. And what
Speaker 1: is it? The work that the Lord Jesus gave me,
Speaker 1: And what is it to tell people the good news
Speaker 1: about God's grace? How do I do that? Can you
Speaker 1: write quick? Let me give you four thanks? Do is it?
Speaker 1: Wrap it up with us? Four thanks? Number one? Pray.
Speaker 1: I pray that people will say yes to God. I
Speaker 1: pray that people will say yes to God and accept
Speaker 1: their life mission and their life message. In Matthew chapter nine,
Speaker 1: this is what Jesus said when he sent his followers
Speaker 1: out on the very first peace trip. Here's what he said.
Speaker 1: Jesus said, there are so many people to harvest, but
Speaker 1: only a few workers to help harvest them. Pray, pray
Speaker 1: to the Lord who owns the harvest that he will
Speaker 1: send out. There's that phrase, call to be sent. He
Speaker 1: will send out more workers together his harvest. So part
Speaker 1: of your calling in life is to pray that God
Speaker 1: will send out people to reach everybody with the good
Speaker 1: news of God's love because everybody deserves to hear Does
Speaker 1: anybody deserve the chance to hear the good news twice
Speaker 1: when there's some people who haven't heard it once. So
Speaker 1: we pray, we pray that God will send people out.
Speaker 1: And that's the first thing you do. Second thing you
Speaker 1: can do is you can give, give to help others go.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a stage of life you can't go
Speaker 1: right now, but you can give to help other people go.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this in third John, chapter one, verse eight.
Speaker 1: We must support believers who go on trips like this
Speaker 1: so we can work together with them in spreading the truth.
Speaker 1: And Matthew ten, verse eight says this, freely have you received?
Speaker 1: Freely give? So God says, I've been generous with you. You
Speaker 1: should be generous and help get the word out. I
Speaker 1: can pray, I can give Number three, step out, I
Speaker 1: could step out in faith. And what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Volunteer God's army. God's mission is one hundred percent volunteer.
Speaker 1: It's no conscription, there's no draft. You got to volunteer.
Speaker 1: You got to say, Lord, I'm in, I'm willing, I'm able.
Speaker 1: Do you know what God uses me because I volunteered.
Speaker 1: In fact, I volunteer every day of my life, said God.
Speaker 1: I wake up in the morning, and before my feet
Speaker 1: hit the ground, I say, Lord, I know you're going
Speaker 1: to do some really cool things in the world today.
Speaker 1: Would you give me the privileges us being in on
Speaker 1: some of them? And the trains move, and I just
Speaker 1: want to get on his train. I want to get in.
Speaker 1: I don't get up and say God, bless what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: I get up in the morning, say God, help me
Speaker 1: to do what you're blessing. I know you're going to
Speaker 1: bless a bunch of things in the world today. Would
Speaker 1: you let me get in on some of it? I
Speaker 1: want to get in on this plan. It's not God
Speaker 1: working on my plan. I'm working on his plan. I
Speaker 1: say God, bless my plans, and say, God, what do
Speaker 1: you plan to do today? Can I be in on
Speaker 1: some of it? I step out in faith like Isaiah did,
Speaker 1: the great prophet in the Old Testament Isaiah sixth st. Eight.
Speaker 1: Isaiah says, then I heard the voice of the Lord
Speaker 1: saying whom shall I send? There's that word? And called
Speaker 1: to me sin? Who will I sin? And who will
Speaker 1: go for us? And I said to the Lord, hear
Speaker 1: my Lord, send me, send me. If you want God
Speaker 1: to use you in any area, something like this or
Speaker 1: anything else, you just have to say I'm in. I
Speaker 1: dare you to pray the most dangerous prayer, the most
Speaker 1: dangerous prayer you can ever pray, is only two words
Speaker 1: you've heard me talk about this far. It's only two words.
Speaker 1: The single most dangerous prayer you can say is this,
Speaker 1: use me. You tell that one to God. You better
Speaker 1: get your boots on, because God is looking for people
Speaker 1: to use. And what we need is the same attitude
Speaker 1: that David had. Look at this verse Psalm sixty seven.
Speaker 1: Send us around your around the world with the news
Speaker 1: of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind.
Speaker 1: That's the attitude Jesse Lord send me here, am I
Speaker 1: send me like Isaiah said, the great Prophet of Israel.
Speaker 1: So I pray that people say yes to God. I
Speaker 1: give so others can go. I step out and faith myself.
Speaker 1: And number four, this is really important. Go where I
Speaker 1: can now. Maybe you can't go to Berlin now, but
Speaker 1: you can go somewhere now. You go where I can. Now.
Speaker 1: That's personal peace, that's local peace, and helping others. We
Speaker 1: live in the county that is filled with needs all
Speaker 1: around us. Once there was a guy who was just
Speaker 1: really struggling with some personal demons in his life, and
Speaker 1: Jesus helped him get his head on right and helped
Speaker 1: him get his act together, and he wanted to follow
Speaker 1: Jesus on to the next town, and Jesus told him no.
Speaker 1: Look at this verse Luke eight, verse thirty nine. Jesus said,
Speaker 1: you go back home. He said, I want you to
Speaker 1: go back home and tell people how much God has
Speaker 1: done for you. So the man went all over town
Speaker 1: tell him how much Jesus had done for him. Some
Speaker 1: of the things. I think, what God will see you.
Speaker 1: You need to go back home. You need to tell
Speaker 1: people in your on your campus, if you're in school,
Speaker 1: or in your business, if you're in a business, or
Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, if you live in a neighborhood, to
Speaker 1: tell the people around you, tell them the good news. Now,
Speaker 1: the last verse on your outline, tewod Timothy four or
Speaker 1: five says, this work at bringing others to Christ. Why
Speaker 1: because they'll experience His love, The experiences forgiveness. The experience
Speaker 1: is peace, the experience's purpose, the experience past forgives and
Speaker 1: purpose for living all of these things that God offers
Speaker 1: to us. Where and bring by the way, this is
Speaker 1: our memory verse. You know, each week we're memorizing one
Speaker 1: verse from the Bible. And this week I thought it'd
Speaker 1: be really nice and light on you and give you
Speaker 1: a word a sentence that's only so short anybody can
Speaker 1: memorize it. So when you memorize the Bible verse, you
Speaker 1: say the reference where are you find it in the Bible?
Speaker 1: At the beginning, at the end. So let's say this
Speaker 1: aloud together. Okay, Second Timothy four or five, work at
Speaker 1: bringing others to Christ? Second Timothy four or five? By
Speaker 1: the way, what is second Timothy four five? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: by the way, where does it say work can bring
Speaker 1: another's to Christ in the Bible? Very good class? All right,
Speaker 1: let me close with a prayer. Let's bow our heads.
Speaker 1: Dear God, what we've talked about this weekend is really
Speaker 1: the subject, dearest to your own heart. You want people
Speaker 1: in your family. You know everything about us, and you
Speaker 1: want us to know you. It's the reason you created
Speaker 1: the universe. It's the reason you sent your son to
Speaker 1: die for us. It's the reason you have never made
Speaker 1: anybody that you don't love. You've never made anybody you
Speaker 1: didn't have a plan and purpose for their life. So
Speaker 1: I pray too things first, that you would keep us
Speaker 1: from being distracted and things in our life that really
Speaker 1: don't matter, that we wouldn't waste our lives on stuff
Speaker 1: that isn't going to last. And second, give us the
Speaker 1: faith and give us the courage to pray the most
Speaker 1: dangerous prayer in the world. Use me now, you talk
Speaker 1: to God. I mean, you know, it really doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what you say. Just say hey, hey, hey God. And
Speaker 1: what matters is being honest. If you don't even know
Speaker 1: if there is a God, say God, if you're real,
Speaker 1: make yourself real to me, and over time he will.
Speaker 1: God never turns down a genuine seeker. So just say,
Speaker 1: dear Gotta if you're not, if you're real, make yourself
Speaker 1: real to me. I want to know you, and if
Speaker 1: you love me, I want to learn to love you back.
Speaker 1: And I want to take the first step, the step
Speaker 1: of openness. And I pray this in sincerity is best
Speaker 1: I know how. Amen.
