00:14 Welcome back. You know Joanie, I'm glad you stayed with me
00:18 for the close of this program because throughout the entire 00:21 program we were talking about the things that you have 00:25 struggled with. And you said a number of times that people that 00:29 were intellectually superior. I don't know of many people in 00:34 my life that loved me in the way that you love me, as good of a 00:40 friend as you are, the way you love even my kids, my husband. 00:44 You know there's an emotional intelligence that you have that 00:48 I think that it's off the chart compared to a lot of people I 00:52 know. The fact that you stepped in. You know, you were talking 00:56 about doing the prayer in the church and stepped and knew that 00:59 you had to do it and let's do some fasting and let's put some 01:03 stuff together. I wish that you would let that just pour into 01:08 your heart that the intelligence you have is spiritual and 01:13 emotional and I love you for it. I want to know, when did you 01:17 start to just relax in Christ? 01:21 Just by reading Steps to Jesus. I love that book. I've been 01:24 through it a number of times and I think I need to start to 01:28 read it again. What I like the most is, what I didn't get for a 01:32 long time was believing. When you pray something, you've got 01:35 to believe it. When he says I love you, you've got to believe 01:38 he loves you. Because I used to think well not me. 01:40 I'm on the other side of the class. 01:43 Yeah. Like I'm on the dumb side over here. He only blesses the 01:47 academically strong and the medium people, but not us. 01:51 Just when I asked for his righteousness to cover me and 01:55 believed that he did. So I love that because now I know he has, 01:58 because people have said stuff to me and I know me and that 02:01 can't be right. It's got to be because his righteousness did 02:05 cover me. And I could ask him to give me victory over sin and 02:10 to believe that he does it. Just believing is huge for me. If I 02:14 ask it, he's going to do it no matter what it is. 02:17 Amen. What was really interesting to me is some of 02:20 those phone calls when I knew that you got it and you believed 02:23 it and there was a freedom in your voice that was like you 02:26 know what, I don't have to compare myself to anybody else 02:29 anymore. I can just relax in the fact that I am so loved, I'm so 02:34 forgiven, I'm so equipped. Whatever God is going to call me 02:37 to do I can do. Thank you so much. I want to just say there's 02:40 a lot of people watching the program and we're at different 02:43 levels, not only of intelligence, emotional 02:46 intelligence, spiritual intelligence, the stuff that 02:49 with the baggage that we carry with us, all that kind of stuff. 02:52 And we're all over the page with that. But I hope what you've 02:56 heard here more than anything else for one there's a God that 03:00 says, Man, I can do it for you. I can bless you, I can fill you 03:04 up. But please hear. It matters how we look at each other. 03:09 It matters how with somebody, taking the time with each other, 03:13 really seeing who that person is, what are their strengths, 03:17 what are their weaknesses. God give me a love for my brothers 03:21 and sisters that I can speak into their lives and not have 03:25 them walk away saying, you know what, I'm not enough. Because 03:29 for each of us, we definitely are enough and I just want 03:34 you to know that anytime, you know, anytime that you want to 03:39 go to God and say, Teach me to believe, help me with my 03:42 unbelief, help me with all of these lies that I've believed 03:44 all of my life and let me surrender them to you. 03:47 He'll do it in a second. And so until next time always remember 03:50 that God is crazy about you! Me too! |
