Hello everybody. This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Thank you so much for joining us today.

And if you're brand new, welcome to the Daily Hope family. We hope you'll enjoy the teachings of Pastor Rick Warren right here.

I'm so excited for all of you to learn about your shape. It might not be the shape you're thinking of right now. Rick

loves to use acrostics, and this one is S-H-A-P-E. Your shape, your spiritual gifts, heart, abilities,

personality, and experiences. And one of the reasons I love this series and have shared it with so many friends

is because Rick talks about the way God wired you and why you need not just know your shape,

but how to use it to do the things that God designed you to do. And now here's Rick with the

final part of a message called Following Your Heart.

Would you like to have more energy in life, more enthusiasm, more get up and go?

Let me tell you where to get it.

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek words in Theos, N, E.N, meaning within, and Theos, meaning God.

Theos is the Greek word for God. Theology is the study of God.

Theodore and Dorothy mean lover of God in Greek.

That's what the word Dorothy and Theodore mean.

It means lover of God.

When you get in Theos, when you get in God, you're going to be enthusiastic.

And the closer you get to God, the more energy, the more vitality, the more passion you have in life. And the further way you get

him, the more bored and apathetic you become with life. You got to open your heart to Jesus.

Now notice what he says here, Revelation 3. Jesus says, I am standing and knocking at your door.

If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we'll eat together. We'll party together. We'll have fun together. We'll fellowship together. We'll build a relationship. I don't want a religion. God says I want a relationship with you. Jesus Christ has been standing at the door of your life knocking for a long time, but he's

the gentleman, he's not going to bust the door down.

You've got to open it up.
