Hello, and thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

This is the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren, and today we're continuing in a series

called The Miracle of Mercy.

Rick will show us how God's mercy can lift your guilt, heal your wounds, and transform

the way you live.

So let's get started with part one of a message called God can use anybody.

Now the greatest joy in life, nothing compares to the thrill of this, is the thrill of

being used by God for a purpose greater than yourself.

Nothing else comes close.

If you've never actually had this feeling,

the feeling that you were being used by God,

and in that moment you knew it,

and you were being used for the purpose that God created you. If you

haven't ever felt that, I feel sad for you because you're missing out on the literally

nothing else compares to this feeling. When you have this feeling, when you know that I'm

in the moment and I'm being used by God for a purpose bigger than

me.

You just go, this is it.

This is why I'm alive.

I get it now.

I understand.

This is my place in life.
