It's great to have you on the podcast today. Victoria and I are praying for you and just believing for God's very best. I believe that this month is going to be an amazing month for you and your family. Keep that expectation in your heart and see what God will do. Well, God bless you. It's always a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in. And thank you again for coming out. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this man. He was in a dark restaurant. He said that the lady sitting next to him, would you like to hear a blonde joke?

She said, well, before you tell me, you should know I'm blonde, six foot tall, and a professional bodybuilder.

The lady next to me is blonde, six foot two, and a professional wrestler.

And the lady next to her is blonde, six foot five, and the kickboxing champion of the world.

Now, do you still want to tell me? He thought about it a moment, said, no, not if I'm going to explain it three times. Help me, Jesus, give me a ride home today. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive.

I will never be the same. In Jesus name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how

grace is looking for you. So often we think that God is only interested in the quote good people.

The people that have it all together, people that never make mistakes, never give into temptation. If your performance

is good enough, then you can expect God's goodness. But if you ever get off course,

if you ever fail, you ever have doubts, God says, too bad, it's your fault. If you don't

want me, I'll leave you alone. I won't bother you. The truth is,

it's just the opposite. When you blow it, God doesn't turn away from you. He turns to you.

His grace comes looking for you. When you have doubts, God doesn't say, what's wrong with you?

You need to have more faith. No, God will even pass over

people with faith and come to you, the one that has doubts. Jesus told a parable about a shepherd

that had a hundred sheep, but one of them went astray. The shepherd left the 99 and went looking

for the one.

What was that?

Grace came looking.

But we tend to write people off and think,

God wouldn't have anything to do with them.
