Speaker 1: You know, we really live in a world that's full
Speaker 1: of competing beliefs and values and choices, and what you
Speaker 1: believe shapes how you live and ultimately who you become.
Speaker 1: But the good news is God hasn't left us to
Speaker 1: figure it all out alone.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: In fact, today, on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, we're going
Speaker 1: to continue our series Reframing Your Worldview, where Rick Warren
Speaker 1: unpacks powerful truths from God's Word to help you see
Speaker 1: life clearly and live it with confidence and purpose. And
Speaker 1: now here's Rick with part two of a message called
Speaker 1: Where Did We Come From?
Speaker 2: Here's the second reason you have sanctity in your life
Speaker 2: because God planned your life before you were born. Did
Speaker 2: you know that on the back of your outline, God
Speaker 2: says to Jeremiah, before I formed you in the womb,
Speaker 2: I knew you. Did you get that he said, before
Speaker 2: even even conception? He says, I knew you before you
Speaker 2: were formed in the womb. I knew you before you
Speaker 2: were born. I set you apart for my holy purposes.
Speaker 2: Did you know that God had a purpose for your
Speaker 2: life before you took your first breath? Did you know
Speaker 2: that God says he knew you before you were even conceived.
Speaker 3: He thought of you.
Speaker 2: He conceived you before your parents conceived you. God says,
Speaker 2: I planned you in advance. I planned your birth. There
Speaker 2: are examples of this author scripture. The Bible tells us
Speaker 2: that John the Baptist was actually filled with God's spirit
Speaker 2: while he was in his mother's womb. Why because God
Speaker 2: had a plan and a purpose for his life. In fact,
Speaker 2: here a couple of scriptures. Look up here on the screen.
Speaker 2: Isaiah said, the Lord called me before my birth from
Speaker 2: within the womb. He called me by name. God knew
Speaker 2: Isaiah's name before or his parents gave him the name.
Speaker 2: God called him before he was born. What does that mean?
Speaker 2: God had a calling on his life. The reason Isaiah
Speaker 2: was conceived is God had a purpose for his life.
Speaker 2: God said, I'm putting this purpose on the planet, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to use these parents. I'm going to use
Speaker 2: them because i want to bless the world through this man.
Speaker 3: The same is true with you.
Speaker 2: God designed you in his image and he planned you
Speaker 2: before your birth. Look here's what God said to Rebecca.
Speaker 2: Look upon the screen. God said to Rebecca, the sons
Speaker 2: in your womb. By the way, he didn't say fetuses.
Speaker 2: He said the sons in your womb shall become two
Speaker 2: rival nations. One will be stronger than the other, and
Speaker 2: the older shall be the servant of the younger. God
Speaker 2: already knew what was going to happen to these two boys.
Speaker 2: He already knew why, because he had a plan for
Speaker 2: their life. This is why we don't believe in abortion,
Speaker 2: because abortion short circuits God's plan. God thought of you
Speaker 2: long before your parents did. And what if you had
Speaker 2: been aborted, then you could not fulfill the purpose God
Speaker 2: put you on this planet. God put you here for
Speaker 2: a reason, and God says, I don't want my plan.
Speaker 2: I don't want my purpose short circuited by anybody else.
Speaker 2: He bade you in this image. He planned you before birth.
Speaker 2: There's a third reason you have sanctity in your life,
Speaker 2: and that's because God made you for his pleasure. You
Speaker 2: were planned for God's pleasure. The Bible says this in
Speaker 2: Revelation four. You God created everything, and it is for
Speaker 2: your pleasure that they exist, and they were created. You
Speaker 2: look around the universe. Everything you see, God made it
Speaker 2: for his own enjoyment. God made it to enjoy it.
Speaker 2: You look at it and you find a tree eat
Speaker 2: God says, I made that because I enjoyed it. I
Speaker 2: enjoy it. You look at a waterfall or sunset, God
Speaker 2: made it to enjoy it. You look at yourself in
Speaker 2: a mirror. God made you to enjoy you. That's why
Speaker 2: you were created. You're not here by accident. God puts
Speaker 2: you on this planet because he wanted to love you.
Speaker 2: He wanted to enjoy you, and he wants you to
Speaker 2: learn to enjoy him back. And God just enjoys you,
Speaker 2: Watching enjoys watching you be you. A lot of times
Speaker 2: we think that God only gets excited or happy or
Speaker 2: smiles at us when we're doing something.
Speaker 3: Spiritual, like going to church.
Speaker 2: But the fact is God enjoys you when you're just
Speaker 2: doing the things that He created you to do. If
Speaker 2: you're good at making sales or closing deals, God says,
Speaker 2: that's my boy when you do it. If you're good
Speaker 2: at painting or writing or crocheting or cooking, when you
Speaker 2: do that, God says, that's my boy.
Speaker 3: That's my girl.
Speaker 2: When you're good at teaching, or you're good at planning,
Speaker 2: or you're good at whatever you do, God looks down,
Speaker 2: he goes, that's my girl. He enjoys watching you be
Speaker 2: you now. I understand this as a parent. Kids were small.
Speaker 2: They did all they didn't have to do. They didn't
Speaker 2: have to be quoting the Bible for me to love them.
Speaker 2: I just loved them when they were just squirreling around
Speaker 2: being kids, you know, riding with crayons on the wall
Speaker 2: and spelling milk, and jumping on the trampoline and tossing
Speaker 2: off the bed and getting up a hundred times at night,
Speaker 2: and you know, all of the things that kids do.
Speaker 2: I just enjoyed them being kids. And sometimes I'd go
Speaker 2: into the room at night and then I'd just sit
Speaker 2: down and enjoy them sleeping. Sometimes I enjoyed that the most,
Speaker 2: and I just watch them sleep, and i'd watch them breathe,
Speaker 2: and I go I got so much pleasure out of that.
Speaker 2: Did you know that God gets pleasure out of watching
Speaker 2: you be you? Why He made you, and he loves
Speaker 2: you like a heavenly father. Only he loves you in
Speaker 2: a perfect way. I could only love my kids and
Speaker 2: in an imperfect way. And so God says, no, I
Speaker 2: enjoy you. That's why I made you. Now he enjoys it,
Speaker 2: especially when you talk back to him. I can't imagine
Speaker 2: if my three kids had grown up in my house
Speaker 2: and had never said a single word to me that
Speaker 2: would break my heart. But I know people who go
Speaker 2: months and years, maybe even their entire life, and never
Speaker 2: talk to God, and they never tell him that they
Speaker 2: love him, and they never tell God that they're thankful
Speaker 2: that they're alive, and they never get to know God,
Speaker 2: never develop a relationship. Some of you are parents, know
Speaker 2: what it's like to have the pain of a broken
Speaker 2: relationship with a child and how much that hurts you
Speaker 2: when that fellowship is broken between you and your child.
Speaker 2: Imagine how God feels a zillion times over when.
Speaker 3: People that he created won't.
Speaker 2: Even acknowledge that He exists, won't even acknowledge that He
Speaker 2: gave them everything that they have in life. It's all
Speaker 2: because of him. Is See, you were made by God.
Speaker 2: You were made for his pleasure. And God says, everything
Speaker 2: you have in your life really comes from Me. You
Speaker 2: would have nothing without God. Zero. I just wrote down
Speaker 2: a few verses from the Bible on this look up
Speaker 2: here on the screen. The Bible says, you, God are
Speaker 2: the one who hears prayers. And the next verse says,
Speaker 2: you God are the one who saves me. And the
Speaker 2: next says you are the one who forgives my rebellious acts.
Speaker 2: And the Bible says you, God are the one who
Speaker 2: puts me together in my mother's who put me together
Speaker 2: in my mother's body, And the Bible says you, God
Speaker 2: are the one who determines my destiny. God is the
Speaker 2: one we owe all of our gratitude too. Now, because
Speaker 2: God needs you in his image, You are not an accident.
Speaker 2: And that means, first of all, your life has sanctity.
Speaker 2: Nobody's got a right to take it. Number two, you're in.
Speaker 2: Your identity has dignity. Your identity has dignity now deep
Speaker 2: inside you. What you want most of all in life
Speaker 2: is you want dignity. You may not realize it, you
Speaker 2: may not call it that, but that's what you want.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to feel that their life matters. You want
Speaker 2: to feel like your life is worth something, that your
Speaker 2: life is valuable, that there is significance.
Speaker 3: To your life, that you're not just a zero, a.
Speaker 2: Cipher, a zip, but not a nothing in the scheme
Speaker 2: of things. You want to feel like your life matters,
Speaker 2: that it counts, that it has value and worth and dignity,
Speaker 2: and you crave it now what is it that gives dignity? Well,
Speaker 2: we try all kinds of things. But you don't get
Speaker 2: dignity from wealth. You don't get it from fame. You
Speaker 2: don't get dignity from sex. You don't get dignity from
Speaker 2: physical beauty. Oh. No, dignity is much much deeper than
Speaker 2: all those things. Your significance will never come from any
Speaker 2: of those things. And then you try to find significance
Speaker 2: in those things, you will be deeply disappointed.
Speaker 3: It's much deeper.
Speaker 2: You know you can have it all by the world's
Speaker 2: standard money, sex, power, fame, beauty, and still feel like
Speaker 2: a fake inside. Why, because you were made for more.
Speaker 2: Where does real dignity come from? Real significance? It comes
Speaker 2: from three things, and they all come from God.
Speaker 3: It's the next three verses.
Speaker 2: First, real dignity comes from realizing that God sacrificed Jesus,
Speaker 2: his son for you. When you realize that, you realize
Speaker 2: that God considered you valuable enough to die for, you
Speaker 2: were worth dying for. Have you ever realized that God
Speaker 2: considered you valuable enough to die for? The Bible says
Speaker 2: this God paid a ransom to save you from the
Speaker 2: empty life. He paid for you with the precious lifeblood.
Speaker 3: Of Christ, and he did this for you.
Speaker 2: God says, you want to know how much you're valuable,
Speaker 2: how much dignity I think you have? He says, look
Speaker 2: at the cross, and Jesus says, this is how valuable
Speaker 2: you are to me. This is how valuable you are
Speaker 2: to God. You're worth dying for. You're worth going through
Speaker 2: all the pain of the passion. You're worth going through
Speaker 2: all that suffering. You're worth letting them nails in my hand.
Speaker 2: That's how much you're worth. How much is something worth?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you whatever a buyer is willing to pay
Speaker 2: for it. If you've ever had a car and tried
Speaker 2: to sell it and you think it's worth X amount,
Speaker 2: it's not worth that. It's worth whatever somebody is willing
Speaker 2: to pay. And if nobody's willing to pay what you
Speaker 2: think it's worth, you're never going to get it.
Speaker 3: Whether it's a house or I could hold up.
Speaker 2: A comic book, and for some people that comic book
Speaker 2: might be worth a quarter, but to somebody else it
Speaker 2: might be worth a quarter of a million dollars because
Speaker 2: they knew it had some significance to them. Value is
Speaker 2: determined by what somebody is willing to pay for it.
Speaker 2: God was willing to pay for you for your salvation
Speaker 2: with his own son, with his own life. He came
Speaker 2: to earth, he said, I'd rather die than live without you.
Speaker 2: That shows dignity. And when you realize that God sends
Speaker 2: his son to die for you, you should never again
Speaker 2: worry about low self esteem. You're valuable to God. That's
Speaker 2: why the Bible says this in One Peter two seventeen.
Speaker 3: Up here on the.
Speaker 2: Screen, treat everyone you meet with dignity. Why does he
Speaker 2: say that? Because everyone you meet was loved by God.
Speaker 2: Everyone you meet Jesus died for You will never meet
Speaker 2: anybody that Jesus Christ didn't die for. Doesn't matter if
Speaker 2: they believe it or not, accept it or not, doesn't
Speaker 2: matter if they believe in God or not. The Bible says,
Speaker 2: you treat them with dignity because I died.
Speaker 3: For them, and I love them.
Speaker 2: I create created them, I love them, and I died
Speaker 2: for them, and you treat them with dignity. And he
Speaker 2: says everybody. That means believers and non believers. It means
Speaker 2: people you agree with and people you disagree with. It
Speaker 2: means old people and young people. You treat him with dignity.
Speaker 2: It means Republicans and Democrats and independence. I don't see
Speaker 2: much treating with dignity today in the political scene. I
Speaker 2: just see people demonizing each other and making them inhuman.
Speaker 2: It means treating women with dignity, and it means treating
Speaker 2: men with dignity. It means treating everybody, whether you agree
Speaker 2: with them or not, whether they're an atheist or a
Speaker 2: New Age person or whatever. Anybody, he says, you treat
Speaker 2: with dignity because I died for them. I died for them,
Speaker 2: and that gives them dignity. It's the second thing that
Speaker 2: gives us dignity. It's when you realize that the Holy
Speaker 2: Spirit lives in your life. When you invite Jesus Christ
Speaker 2: into your heart. You say, Jesus Christ, come into my life.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? You're saying, God, I want you
Speaker 2: to put your spirit inside of me, Come and live
Speaker 2: inside this body. And as you begin to get to
Speaker 2: know him, you begin to learn when it's God talking
Speaker 2: to you and when it's just your mind talking to you,
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, I'm getting this lead in, I'm
Speaker 2: getting this little prompting. It's nothing spooky. It's just God says,
Speaker 2: this is what I want you to do. And he
Speaker 2: doesn't have to say it aloud because his spirit is
Speaker 2: put inside of you. He wants you to do the
Speaker 2: loving thing and the kind thing and the important thing.
Speaker 2: And God puts his spirit in you, inside of you.
Speaker 2: Now it's not automatic. You have to invite him inside
Speaker 2: your heart. You have to say, Jesus Christ, put your
Speaker 2: spirit inside of me. He's not going to bully his
Speaker 2: way in. God isn't going to force you to do anything.
Speaker 2: He made you in his image, which means he gave
Speaker 2: you the freedom to choose. Animals don't have the freedom
Speaker 2: to choose. You do. You can choose to reject God,
Speaker 2: you can choose to turn your back on him. But
Speaker 2: when you say God, I'm choosing you, he like a gentleman,
Speaker 2: comes into your heart and he says, to be the
Speaker 2: manager of your life.
Speaker 3: No this this next verse.
Speaker 2: One Corinthian six says, haven't you yet learned that your
Speaker 2: body is the home of the Holy Spirit? You know,
Speaker 2: the King James version says your body is the temple
Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. A lot of times you're here,
Speaker 2: athletes say on TV or at the gym or some
Speaker 2: of this saying, well, I believe my body is a temple,
Speaker 2: and I want to say a temple of what? What
Speaker 2: kind of God is inside that temple? Is it just you?
Speaker 3: Yourself?
Speaker 2: You see, when anybody says I believe my body is
Speaker 2: a temple, they're actually quoting the Bible, but they're only
Speaker 2: quoting part of the verse. The Bible says, your body
Speaker 2: is the temple, the home, the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2: It's not to be the temple for just anything. God said,
Speaker 2: I want it to be the temple for me. I
Speaker 2: created you to want me in your heart. He says,
Speaker 2: don't make it a temple for anything else. Make it
Speaker 2: a temple for God's spirit, and you invite him in.
Speaker 2: He says, He lives within you. And your own body
Speaker 2: does not belie long to you what it belongs to God.
Speaker 2: One day you're going to give up this body and
Speaker 2: you're going to keep on going. The body belongs to God.
Speaker 2: You got it on loan for about eighty years, but
Speaker 2: one day you're going to turn it in at the
Speaker 2: rental shop. Now, God says, I sacrifice Jesus for you.
Speaker 2: That shows your dignity. I am willing to come and
Speaker 2: live in your life in your body. And God doesn't
Speaker 2: put his spirit in a junk can, So that shows
Speaker 2: your dignity.
Speaker 3: And there's a third reason.
Speaker 2: Jesus gives you a new identity when you come to him.
Speaker 2: He gives you a new identity. When you start trusting
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, he transforms your life. He makes things better,
Speaker 2: he makes things new. The Bible says this, anyone who
Speaker 2: has joined to Christ is a new being, new person inside.
Speaker 2: The old is gone and the new has come. We've
Speaker 2: talked about this before that when you come to Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: it's like he writes everything you've ever done wrong on
Speaker 2: a big blackboard and he says, no, we're just gonna
Speaker 2: race all that. Okay, we're gonna start over. You're gonna
Speaker 2: get a.
Speaker 3: Fresh new start from this day forward.
Speaker 2: The day that you step across the line and you
Speaker 2: invite Jesus into you, this is a new you. Okay.
Speaker 2: We're gonna call it being born again. It's like starting
Speaker 2: completely over. It's like a fresh new life, not just
Speaker 2: a new leaf, but a total new life. And he says,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a new identity. And that's what happens.
Speaker 2: It's a transforming thing. Now let me tell you why
Speaker 2: this is important. I'm gonna be real blunt with you.
Speaker 2: You have done some things in your life that you're
Speaker 2: very ashamed of. You have done some things in your
Speaker 2: life you're ashamed of. So have I. And there are
Speaker 2: a lot of things in our lives that we wish men.
Speaker 2: I wish I could do that over. I wish I
Speaker 2: could put I wish I hadn't said that. I wish
Speaker 2: I hadn't done that. I wish I hadn't messed up
Speaker 2: that relationship. I oh, you know, I wish I could
Speaker 2: replay the tape and back it up and do a
Speaker 2: mull again, and do over and just get a fresh start.
Speaker 2: I wish I could just take that off the slate.
Speaker 2: Why because every time you and I sin, it damages
Speaker 2: your dignity.
Speaker 3: Sin doesn't just hurt God, it hurts you.
Speaker 2: When you break God's principles. You don't just hurt other
Speaker 2: people and God, you hurt yourself. It damages your dignity,
Speaker 2: And every time you sin, it replaces a little bit
Speaker 2: of self respect with a little bit of shame, and
Speaker 2: it begins to pile up in your life and you
Speaker 2: begin to try to push it out of the way
Speaker 2: by staying busy or playing sports or getting drunk or
Speaker 2: having parties or whatever. But it's there, and when you
Speaker 2: put your head down.
Speaker 3: At night, you're going, man, I sure messed up.
Speaker 2: And every time you blow it, it robs you of dignity.
Speaker 2: But Jesus Christ is in the dignity restoring business. He says,
Speaker 2: when you come to me and you give your life
Speaker 2: to me, he goes, We're just gonna wipe that out.
Speaker 2: It's starting over. So it's like, if you came to
Speaker 2: Christ tonight, go okay, Jesus, give me a fresh start.
Speaker 2: And then you die tomorrow and you go to heaven
Speaker 2: and he say, now, God, about that sin that I
Speaker 2: did last week.
Speaker 3: He's gonna go, what's.
Speaker 2: Sind I's gonna say, I distinctly remember forgetting that.
Speaker 3: He intentionally forgets it.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite stories in the Bibles where these guys,
Speaker 2: these religious leaders, they catch this prostitute and they pull
Speaker 2: her out of this of bed and they.
Speaker 3: Bring her to Jesus and they throw her in front
Speaker 3: of Jesus on the ground.
Speaker 2: They have no respect, they are not treating her with dignity,
Speaker 2: and they throw on the ground and they say, okay,
Speaker 2: they're trying to trap Jesus, and the religious leaders say, okay, Lord,
Speaker 2: if you're so smart, the law requires that this immoral
Speaker 2: woman be stone.
Speaker 3: But we caught her in the act of adultery.
Speaker 2: What do you say.
Speaker 3: Jesus just looks at him, doesn't say.
Speaker 2: A word, and he kneels down in the ground and
Speaker 2: he starts the Bible says, writing in the sand. Now
Speaker 2: doesn't tell us what he wrote. I think he was
Speaker 2: just doodling. I think he's letting making him sweat it.
Speaker 2: Here's kind of doodling around here. You know, now, what
Speaker 2: he could have been doing. He could have been writing
Speaker 2: in the sand the names of the sins of each
Speaker 2: of those leaders, because he would have known it. He
Speaker 2: was God.
Speaker 3: He would have known what they had done wrong. He
Speaker 3: could just write it in there.
Speaker 2: But then he stands back up and he says, okay,
Speaker 2: whichever of you has never sinned, you get to cast
Speaker 2: the first stone. Well, of course they all know nobody's perfect.
Speaker 2: They've all blown it, and one by one they walk away.
Speaker 2: What was Jesus doing? He was protecting that woman's dignity.
Speaker 3: Did he agree with what she was doing?
Speaker 2: No? What's what is she doing wrong? Yes, but did
Speaker 2: he protect her dignity in public? Absolutely? And so all
Speaker 2: of the accusers leave, and then, in the privacy of
Speaker 2: that one on one tender moment, Jesus said to this woman,
Speaker 2: who undoubtedly was filled with shame, He says, where are
Speaker 2: your accusers?
Speaker 3: And she looks up and she says, Lord, they're all gone.
Speaker 3: He says, I don't condemn you either, go and send
Speaker 3: no more.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all he's gonna say. I mean, he
Speaker 2: could have pulled out a ten point sermon on adult tree,
Speaker 2: don't do this. Yeah you did that, but let me
Speaker 2: tell you what else you did? Da da da da,
Speaker 2: and really loaded it on her. See, a lot of
Speaker 2: people think that's the way God is. A lot of
Speaker 2: you are afraid to come and confess to God what
Speaker 2: you've done wrong because you think you're gonna get a
Speaker 2: scolding when you come and confess to him. And you
Speaker 2: think that if you come and say, God, I blew it,
Speaker 2: God's gonna go, oh, how did I miss that one?
Speaker 2: You know, and he's going to be shocked, as if
Speaker 2: he doesn't already know. And then that he's going to say,
Speaker 2: and not only did you do that, you did these
Speaker 2: ten other things too. No, he's not gonna do that.
Speaker 2: He responds to you in love and in grace and
Speaker 2: in mercy. And when she said, he said, where are
Speaker 2: your accusers? She said, they're gone. He said, neither do
Speaker 2: I condemn you. I don't accuse you. Go and send
Speaker 2: no more what said? He just says, don't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: She didn't need a sermon. She knew what was wrong.
Speaker 2: Nobody needed to tell her why what.
Speaker 3: She was doing was wrong. He just said, don't do
Speaker 3: it anymore.
Speaker 2: You're better than that. You got dignity. Don't do that anymore.
Speaker 2: That's all he said. And she walks away. You see,
Speaker 2: when you come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness, he forgives
Speaker 2: you immediately, and then second he restores your dignity.
Speaker 3: Now, listen very carefully.
Speaker 2: I don't care what you've done. I don't care who
Speaker 2: you've done it with. I don't care how long you've
Speaker 2: done it or where you did it. To God, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you've been. What matters is what direction
Speaker 2: your feet are headed. Now.
Speaker 3: He says, your past is past, And.
Speaker 2: He says, your life has sanctity and your identity has
Speaker 2: dignity because I died for you, and I want to
Speaker 2: put my spirit in your heart, and I will give
Speaker 2: you a brand new identity. And I can make all
Speaker 2: things new. Nobody else can, but Jesus in your life
Speaker 2: can give.
Speaker 3: You a fresh start.
Speaker 1: What a great message from Pastor Rick today. There's something
Speaker 1: I always take away from his message. Here's Rick to
Speaker 1: tell you how you can help support this ministry.
Speaker 2: Jesus told his disciples that they should live their lives
Speaker 2: according to five specific purposes. He said, You've got to
Speaker 2: love God with theod your heart. That's worship, and love
Speaker 2: your neighbors yourself. That's ministry. That's called the Great Commandment.
Speaker 2: And then Jesus said, go make disciples. That's evangelism. Baptize
Speaker 2: them into the Family of God. That's fellowship, a sign
Speaker 2: of fellowship. And then he said, teach them obey everything
Speaker 2: I've taught you. That's discipleship. And we call that the
Speaker 2: Great Commission. We believe it daily hope that a great
Speaker 2: commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will
Speaker 2: produce a great Christian, a great church, a great company,
Speaker 2: a great community. You know, I started daily hope so
Speaker 2: I could spread the good news about Jesus not just
Speaker 2: across America, but all around the world. And we want
Speaker 2: people to know that God's word is filled with hope
Speaker 2: and truth and the power that we need to follow
Speaker 2: him every day is available to every single one. You
Speaker 2: know as well as I do, that the Word of
Speaker 2: God changes lives. It's alive, it's active, and it breathes
Speaker 2: new life and new love into all of our life.
Speaker 2: So wherever you listen to this, whether you listen on
Speaker 2: the website, whether you listen on a radio station, or
Speaker 2: whether you listen to a podcast, you're a part of
Speaker 2: the Daily Hope family, and I need your help. We
Speaker 2: could not do this without your support. We're one hundred
Speaker 2: percent listener funded. Would you continue to pray for this
Speaker 2: broadcast and would you continue to support us, and let
Speaker 2: write to me, let me hear from you. I absolutely
Speaker 2: love reading the stories that are.
Speaker 3: Sent to me.
Speaker 2: So write me, pray for me, and support this ministry,
Speaker 2: and God will bless it, and God will bless you,
Speaker 2: and we'll get to heaven and we'll thank God for
