Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. This
Speaker 1: is the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren. Now today
Speaker 1: we're continuing into the new year, and we're digging deeper
Speaker 1: into one of life's biggest questions, does my life really matter?
Speaker 1: In today's message, Rick's going to continue his powerful series
Speaker 1: Live Your Calling. What on Earth Am I here for?
Speaker 1: In it, you'll discover how living out God's purpose for
Speaker 1: your life brings real meaning, direction, and joy no matter
Speaker 1: where you're starting from. So sit back, relax, and here's
Speaker 1: part one of a message called Why God Made You.
Speaker 2: Mark Train once said, the two most important days in
Speaker 2: your life our number one the day you're born, and
Speaker 2: number two the day you figure out why.
Speaker 3: Why you were born.
Speaker 2: God has never created anything without a purpose. Every plant
Speaker 2: has a purpose, every star has a purpose, every animal
Speaker 2: has a purpose. God does not create things without a reason,
Speaker 2: without a purpose. And if your heart is beating and
Speaker 2: your breathing, there's a purpose for your life because God
Speaker 2: never makes anything without a purpose. And the very fact
Speaker 2: that you're alive makes your life meaningful. That God had
Speaker 2: a reason for creating you. And that's what we're gonna
Speaker 2: look at this weekend.
Speaker 3: Why God made you?
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to know the purpose of your life,
Speaker 2: you got to start with God.
Speaker 3: You can't find it on TV, you can't find it.
Speaker 2: In the movies, you can't find it. You know, reading
Speaker 2: a book, you can't find it. A lot of people say, well,
Speaker 2: the way you need to find your purpose is look within,
Speaker 2: like trust the force, Luke, look within. That doesn't work.
Speaker 2: I tried that a lot of times. Look within also
Speaker 2: has a bunch of confusion. You can't tell you what
Speaker 2: your purpose is because you didn't make you.
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Only your creator can tell you what your purpose is.
Speaker 2: You can't tell yourself because you weren't alive when he
Speaker 2: whoever thought you up thought you up. If I were
Speaker 2: to hold up in a just in any kind of
Speaker 2: invention that you had never seen, and I held up
Speaker 2: and I said, tell me what this is? What's the
Speaker 2: purpose of this invention? You wouldn't have the slightest idea.
Speaker 2: And the only way you would know the purpose of
Speaker 2: an invention you'd never seen is either a talk to
Speaker 2: the inventor, the creator who made it, and they can
Speaker 2: tell you what it does, or b read the owner's
Speaker 2: manual the same is true for your life. The only
Speaker 2: way you're ever going to know your purpose for your life.
Speaker 2: Why you're here on this planet, what on earth you're
Speaker 2: here for? Is a talk to your creator, God who
Speaker 2: made you, and be read the Owner's Manual. Now, the
Speaker 2: Bible says this, look there on your outline. Ephesians chapter
Speaker 2: one from the Bible says, it is in Christ that
Speaker 2: we find out who we are and what we're living for.
Speaker 2: So you said, I really got to find myself. You're
Speaker 2: gonna find yourself in Christ. It is in Christ we
Speaker 2: find out who we are, what we're living for, part
Speaker 2: of the overall purpose that He God is working out
Speaker 2: in everything and everyone. The next verse, Colossians chapter one,
Speaker 2: verse sixteen says this, everything, absolutely everything, got started in
Speaker 2: Christ and finds its purpose in him. You were made
Speaker 2: by God, You were made for God. Until you understand
Speaker 2: that your life is never gonna make sense.
Speaker 3: You're gonna go through life one and what on earth
Speaker 3: am I here for? You got to start with God.
Speaker 2: Now, the Bible says that you were made to last forever.
Speaker 2: One day your heart is going to stop. That's going
Speaker 2: to be the end of your body. But it's not
Speaker 2: going to be the end of you. That's gonna be
Speaker 2: the end of your time on Earth. But it's not
Speaker 2: gonna be the end of you. God has long range
Speaker 2: plans for your life, and I'm not exaggerating, because He
Speaker 2: wants you to live forever and ever and ever and
Speaker 2: ever and ever and ever and ever. So you're gonna
Speaker 2: actually spend more time on the other side of death
Speaker 2: than you do on this time side. On this side
Speaker 2: you get eighty years at the most, maybe a hundred.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's not really a whole lot of time. After you die,
Speaker 2: you move into eternity, and you're gonna spend trillions and
Speaker 2: trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions onto
Speaker 2: infinity and beyond.
Speaker 3: For the rest of your life.
Speaker 2: So this is like a little tiny millimeter of your life.
Speaker 2: The few measly years you're here on Earth. Most of
Speaker 2: your life is gonna be on the other side. And
Speaker 2: have you ever thought about this? If God wants to
Speaker 2: take me to heaven, why doesn't he just take me
Speaker 2: there instantly? Why didn't just make me and start with
Speaker 2: me in heaven? Why does God put you on this
Speaker 2: planet for eighty years?
Speaker 3: Really? Why does he do that? Well?
Speaker 2: The Bible says, you're not ready for heaven. There are
Speaker 2: some things you need to learn, and God says, this
Speaker 2: life follow me. This life is preparation.
Speaker 3: For the next.
Speaker 2: If you want to know why you're on this planet,
Speaker 2: it is to get ready for the next life. This
Speaker 2: life is preparation for the next. This is the preschool.
Speaker 2: This is the warm up act.
Speaker 3: This is the.
Speaker 2: Get ready stage. This is the kindergarten. This is the
Speaker 2: dress rehearsal before the real show begins. This is the
Speaker 2: first lap around track before the real race begins. This
Speaker 2: is the warm up act, getting ready for eternity, because
Speaker 2: that's the real show that's gonna go on forever and
Speaker 2: ever and ever. Now, in heaven, you're going to do
Speaker 2: a number of things, and the Bible tells us what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen in heaven, and what God wants you to
Speaker 2: do here on earth is practice what you're gonna do
Speaker 2: in heaven forever, so when you get to heaven you
Speaker 2: know what to do.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm going to explain to.
Speaker 2: You this evening exactly what God wants you to practice
Speaker 2: while you're here on earth. This may be the most
Speaker 2: important message you've ever heard in your life. Because I
Speaker 2: can't think of anything more fundamental than why am I
Speaker 2: here on earth and what am I supposed to do
Speaker 2: with my life. If I only had one sermon to preach,
Speaker 2: it would be this message to teach you why God
Speaker 2: made you and what you're supposed to do with your life.
Speaker 2: God wants you to practice five things on this planet.
Speaker 2: We call them our purposes, the reasons for living.
Speaker 3: We often use the word callings. There are five callings, but.
Speaker 2: There are five things God wants you to do with
Speaker 2: your life here on earth for five reasons. He made
Speaker 2: you for five reasons. Now I want you to write
Speaker 2: these down. Number one, the first purpose of your life
Speaker 2: is this. God planned me. God planned me for his pleasure.
Speaker 2: God planned me for his pleasure. God created you just
Speaker 2: to love you. That's the whole idea. The Bible says
Speaker 2: that God is love. I've told you this many times.
Speaker 2: It doesn't say God has love. It says God is love.
Speaker 2: It is the essence of his nature, it is his character,
Speaker 2: it is who God is. God is love. And if
Speaker 2: God wasn't a God of love, you would not be
Speaker 2: able to love anybody else Because you're made in God's image.
Speaker 2: The only reason You're able to love is because God said, I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to make men and women in my own image.
Speaker 2: And if God was not a god of love, there
Speaker 2: would be no love in the universe, that would be
Speaker 2: no love between human beings. Now, the Bible says that
Speaker 2: God made you simply to love you.
Speaker 3: God made you to love you. He didn't need you.
Speaker 2: God is totally satisfied in himself. Father's not holy spirit,
Speaker 2: but he wanted you. That shows how valuable you are.
Speaker 2: Now let me show you some verses about how God
Speaker 2: planned you for his pleasure. He planned he created you
Speaker 2: just so we could love you. Revelation four, verse eleven.
Speaker 2: You God created everything, and it is for your pleasure.
Speaker 2: Circle that for your pleasure that they exist, and they
Speaker 2: were created. Everything was created because God gets enjoyment out
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: He wanted to love it.
Speaker 2: God loves every rock, every plant, every animal, every star,
Speaker 2: and every human being. So one verse four, the Lord
Speaker 2: takes pleasure in his people. Anybody here a parent, who
Speaker 2: has anybody here?
Speaker 3: Have kids?
Speaker 2: All right, those of you who are parents, do you
Speaker 2: get pleasure? How many of you get pleasure in your kids?
Speaker 2: You see most of the time? Yeah, yeah, Well, you
Speaker 2: know what God takes pleasure in you all of the time.
Speaker 2: Why because He made you, He created you, He's your
Speaker 2: heavenly father. Did you know that God gets pleasure in
Speaker 2: just watching you beu? Some people think that God is
Speaker 2: only smiling at them when they're doing something quote religious
Speaker 2: that if you know, if you're feeding the poor, you're
Speaker 2: helping the sick, you're confessing your sins, you're going to church,
Speaker 2: you're giving a tithe, you're being generous. That when you
Speaker 2: do these kind of spiritual things, reading your Bible and praying,
Speaker 2: then God smiles.
Speaker 3: But the rest of the.
Speaker 2: Time, God's kind of bored with you.
Speaker 3: Nothing could be further from the truth.
Speaker 2: God gets pleasure in watching you be you because He
Speaker 2: made you you, and when you do something that's so
Speaker 2: typical of you, he goes, that's my girl, that's my boy,
Speaker 2: That's what I made them to do. You know, when
Speaker 2: my children were little, I used to sneak into their
Speaker 2: rooms at night and sit by their bedside and watch
Speaker 2: them sleep. And I got so much pleasure out of
Speaker 2: just watching them breathe. You know, I would watch their
Speaker 2: little chest.
Speaker 4: Rise and lower and rise and lower and rise and lower,
Speaker 4: and I got so much pleasure just watching my kids breathe. Why,
Speaker 4: Because I am their creator, I'm their father.
Speaker 2: I made them. They wouldn't exist without me. Now, they
Speaker 2: didn't have to do anything special. They didn't have to
Speaker 2: be reading the Bible or memorizing scripture or witnessing to
Speaker 2: other two year olds. They just had to be themselves.
Speaker 2: And I got pleasure out of watching them sleep. Did
Speaker 2: you know that God gets pleasure out of watching you sleep?
Speaker 2: In fact, the way you act sometimes he's more pleased
Speaker 2: with that. But the fact is, if my kids had
Speaker 2: acted like the devil all day at night, they're angels.
Speaker 2: And God gives pleasure out of watching his.
Speaker 3: Children just be his children.
Speaker 2: Here's what the Bible says Ephesians, chapter one, verse four.
Speaker 2: Long before he God laid down the earth found ation.
Speaker 2: Other words, I mean is long before God created the universe.
Speaker 2: God had us in mind.
Speaker 3: Whoo. God had us in mind, and he settled on
Speaker 3: us as.
Speaker 2: The focus of his love circle the word focus. The
Speaker 2: focus of God's love is not animals. He loves animals,
Speaker 2: but that's not the focus of his love. The focus
Speaker 2: of God's love is not the environment. He loves the environment,
Speaker 2: but that's not his focus. His focus of his love
Speaker 2: is us. And the reason why is because He has
Speaker 2: given us the capacity to love him back. This is
Speaker 2: what makes you different from animals. Animals can't pray, animals
Speaker 2: can't talk to God. Animals can't worship because they're not
Speaker 2: made in God's image. God gave you the freedom of
Speaker 2: choice and the freedom to respond. You can learn to
Speaker 2: love and love him back. God knows everything about you.
Speaker 2: You know almost nothing about God. God loves you in
Speaker 2: spite of everything those about you. God wants you to
Speaker 2: learn to know him and love him back. And the
Speaker 2: Bible calls this worship. And it's the first purpose of
Speaker 2: your life. That God planned me for his pleasure and
Speaker 2: he wants me to.
Speaker 3: Learn to love him back.
Speaker 2: One day, a guy who was walking down the street
Speaker 2: in Jerusalem and he comes up to Jesus. He says, Lord,
Speaker 2: what's the most important commandment in the whole Bible? And
Speaker 2: Jesus says, I'll summarize the whole Bible and two sentences,
Speaker 2: this is it.
Speaker 3: Cliff notes on the Bible.
Speaker 2: Love God with all your heart, love Him with all
Speaker 2: your soul, all your mind, all your strength. Oh and
Speaker 2: by the way, second law, love your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker 2: Life is all about love. If you don't get that,
Speaker 2: you miss the first purpose of your life. And the
Speaker 2: first purpose is to love God with all your heart
Speaker 2: and soul and mind and strength, to get to know him.
Speaker 2: God wants you to know him and love him back.
Speaker 2: Here's what he says in the Book of Hoseiah in
Speaker 2: the Bible, chapter six, verse six. God says, I don't
Speaker 2: want your sacrifices. I want your loved talking to you.
Speaker 2: I don't want your offerings. I want you to know me.
Speaker 2: Now circle the word love and circle the word no.
Speaker 2: Because that is the first purpose of your life, to
Speaker 2: know God and to love God. The most important thing
Speaker 2: you can know in life is that God loves you,
Speaker 2: and the most important thing you can do in life
Speaker 2: is love him back.
Speaker 3: So, as I've.
Speaker 2: Said to you many times, you ought to get up
Speaker 2: in the morning and say God, I want to know
Speaker 2: you and love you more.
Speaker 3: I have done this.
Speaker 2: Every single morning of my life for decades. I don't
Speaker 2: get out of bed.
Speaker 3: In the morning. Before I do this.
Speaker 2: I sit on the edge of my bed before my
Speaker 2: feet touched the ground, and I just say this, Dear God,
Speaker 2: it's another day. And if I don't get anything else done. Today,
Speaker 2: I want to know you a little bit better, and
Speaker 2: I want to love you a little bit more, because
Speaker 2: that's the first purpose of life. I was planned for
Speaker 2: God's pleasure. And if at the end of the day
Speaker 2: that day everything went wrong, it was terrible. I sin,
Speaker 2: there were mistakes. There are all kinds of grief and
Speaker 2: problems and difficulties. If at the end of the day
Speaker 2: I know God a little bit better and love him
Speaker 2: a little bit more, I didn't waste that day. On
Speaker 2: the other hand, it doesn't matter how many things you accomplished,
Speaker 2: how many things you achieve, how famous you become, how
Speaker 2: much money you make. If at the end of each
Speaker 2: day you don't know God a little bit better and
Speaker 2: love him a little bit more, you just wasted that day.
Speaker 2: Because God did not create you and put you on
Speaker 2: earth just to mark things off your to do list.
Speaker 2: He put you here for the very first purpose, and
Speaker 2: there are five purposes of your life.
Speaker 3: To know Him and love Him. Write this down. The
Speaker 3: first purpose of my life is to know and love God. Bam.
Speaker 2: That's it. It's pretty simple. Love God with all your heart.
Speaker 2: You got to get to know him before you can
Speaker 2: love him. To know and love God. Now, the tragedy
Speaker 2: is a lot of people are going through life missing
Speaker 2: the number one purpose of life. They know everything else.
Speaker 2: They know sports scores, they know music, so they know
Speaker 2: who's on the cover of People magazine, they know who
Speaker 2: is the winner.
Speaker 3: Of the Voice.
Speaker 2: They know all kinds of things in pop culture. But
Speaker 2: they don't know God. And that's the most important thing
Speaker 2: in life. It's what you were put here to do,
Speaker 2: to know God. Fir Timothy, Chapter six the Bible says this,
Speaker 2: some people have missed the most important thing in life.
Speaker 3: They don't know God. They don't know God.
Speaker 2: Now, how do you know when you don't know God?
Speaker 2: How do you know when you're disconnected from God? How
Speaker 2: do you know when in that moment you're not knowing
Speaker 2: and loving God. God has given us a warning sign
Speaker 2: and that goes off like a bright yellow light in
Speaker 2: your life every time you get disconnected from God. And
Speaker 2: that warning sign is this.
Speaker 3: Worry. Are any of you familiar with this term worry? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, anytime when you worry, you're acting like God
Speaker 2: doesn't exist. You're acting like if it's to be it's
Speaker 2: up to me. No, it's not up to you, it's
Speaker 2: up to God. And when you worry, you're acting like
Speaker 2: it's all your responsibility that you don't have a heavenly
Speaker 2: father who loves you. That there aren't seven thousand promises
Speaker 2: in the Bible, that God hasn't already agreed to take
Speaker 2: care of all your needs. You're acting like an orphan,
Speaker 2: like you don't have to have any father.
Speaker 3: God doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: Worry is practical atheism. It's practically it's acting like an
Speaker 2: atheist and worry. The Bible says in Matthew six point
Speaker 2: thirty two, people who don't know God are always worrying. Now,
Speaker 2: God planned me for his pleasure. So the first purpose
Speaker 2: of my life is to know and love God. Not
Speaker 2: only did God plan me for his pleasure. Number two,
Speaker 2: God formed me for his family. God formed me for
Speaker 2: his family. God wanted a family, and you were created
Speaker 2: to be a part of it. The whole reason the
Speaker 2: universe exists. You want to know why the universe exists.
Speaker 2: God wanted a family. He wanted children. Now, he didn't
Speaker 2: need us, but he wanted us. He wanted to show
Speaker 2: his love to something, so he created us as objects
Speaker 2: of his love. And he created the entire universe to
Speaker 2: create this galaxy to create this planet, so it's on
Speaker 2: an access Do you know that one degree this way
Speaker 2: we'd burn up. In one degree this way we'd freeze up.
Speaker 2: It's just the perfect angle that would sustain life at
Speaker 2: this point from the sun. Just so he could create
Speaker 2: the human race, just so he could create you, just
Speaker 2: so he could love you. That's how valuable you are
Speaker 2: to God. God thought you up before he thought up
Speaker 2: the universe. The Bible says this very clearly, that you
Speaker 2: the focus of his love. Ephesians, chapter one, verse five.
Speaker 2: God's unchanging plan, it never has changed, has always been
Speaker 2: to adopt us into his own family. Whoooa whoa by
Speaker 2: bringing this to himself through Jesus Christ, and this gave
Speaker 2: him God great pleasure. God wanted a family and wanted
Speaker 2: you to be a part of it. God never meant
Speaker 2: for you to go through life alone. Whether you marry
Speaker 2: or not is irrelevant. Whether you are your family stays
Speaker 2: together splits up, is irrelevant.
Speaker 3: To this point.
Speaker 2: God wanted you in his family, and the first thing
Speaker 2: he told Adam is it's not good for men.
Speaker 3: To be alone.
Speaker 2: You're made to be in a spiritual family that he
Speaker 2: created to take care of you. So you're not lonely
Speaker 2: in life. And by the way, I said this before,
Speaker 2: your spiritual family is going to outlast your physical family.
Speaker 2: No physical family lasts. People grow up, they move off,
Speaker 2: they get married, they start their own family. People divorce,
Speaker 2: people die, people separate. No physical family lasts forever. But
Speaker 2: your spiritual family is going to last forever and ever
Speaker 2: and ever. In fact, it's the only thing on planet
Speaker 2: Earth that is going to last forever and ever and ever,
Speaker 2: your spiritual family. First Peter Chapter one says this verse three,
Speaker 2: God has given us the privilege of being born again,
Speaker 2: so that we are now members of God's family, God's
Speaker 2: own family circle that word members.
Speaker 3: Now, I said this last week.
Speaker 2: Or a couple weeks ago, that when you were born physically,
Speaker 2: you automatically became a part of the human race.
Speaker 3: You didn't have a choice. You didn't have a choice.
Speaker 2: You automatically became a part of human race. But you
Speaker 2: didn't become a part of a spiritual family or a
Speaker 2: physical family until somebody chose to take you home. Being
Speaker 2: a part of God's family is He's not automatic. It's
Speaker 2: a choice. Now, listen to me very closely on this.
Speaker 2: Are you telling me that everybody is not a child
Speaker 2: of God. That's exactly what I'm telling you. You got
Speaker 2: to choose to be in God's family. You got to
Speaker 2: let him adopt you. Everybody is created by God. Everybody
Speaker 2: is loved by God. God has never made a person
Speaker 2: he didn't love. God has never made a person he
Speaker 2: did not want in his family. But he gives you
Speaker 2: the choice, and He's not going to force you in.
Speaker 2: A lot of people choose to opt out. They are
Speaker 2: not children of God because they choose to opt out.
Speaker 2: And God's not going to force you into an adoption.
Speaker 2: You got to want to be adopted into his family.
Speaker 3: Now, what is God's family?
Speaker 2: One Timothy chapter three says that family is the church.
Speaker 2: The family is the Church of the Living God, the
Speaker 2: support and foundation of the truth. Now, notice that the
Speaker 2: church is not an organization. The church is not an institution.
Speaker 2: The church is not a political entity. It's not a business,
Speaker 2: it's not a society, it's not an organization. God says,
Speaker 2: the church is a family. It's God's family. And we
Speaker 2: are children of God, which makes us brothers and sisters
Speaker 2: in the family of God. And God's purpose for your
Speaker 2: life is not just to know Him and love him,
Speaker 2: but to belong to his family. He doesn't want you
Speaker 2: just to believe. He wants you to belong, to be connected.
Speaker 2: A Christian without a church family is an orphan. Now
Speaker 2: it says that that family is a church, a support
Speaker 2: and foundation of the true circle.
Speaker 3: Support and foundation.
Speaker 2: What happens when a building has no support and foundation,
Speaker 2: It collapses? And we see that all around us. We
Speaker 2: see collapsed marriages, and if you grew up in a
Speaker 2: family where the marriage collapsed, we see it and collapsed businesses.
Speaker 2: We see it in collapsed dreams. We see it in
Speaker 2: collapsed economies. We see it in the collapsed weather, we
Speaker 2: see it in collapsed health. When you don't have the
Speaker 2: support and foundation of God's family, you're not gonna make
Speaker 2: it through the tough times of life. You need support
Speaker 2: and you need a foundation, and the Bible says that
Speaker 2: is the church, God's family. You cannot fulfill God's purposes
Speaker 2: for your life by yourself. Sorry, you can't. You can try,
Speaker 2: but you will fail. You cannot fulfill the purpose God
Speaker 2: made you for by yourself. We're better together. We're made
Speaker 2: to be in community, We're made to be in harmony.
Speaker 2: We're made to be in family. We're made to be
Speaker 2: in relationship. That's why you need the spiritual support of
Speaker 2: a spiritual family. Now, the Bible says in one Peter
Speaker 2: two seventeen, love your spiritual family.
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 all 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 a live it's active, and it
Speaker 2: breathes new life and new love into all of our lives.
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 sent to me. So
Speaker 2: write me, pray for me, and support this ministry and
Speaker 2: God will bless it, and God will bless you and
Speaker 2: will get to heaven. And well, thank God for all
Speaker 2: the people going to be in heaven because you cared.
