Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with the final part of a message called,

Jesus came to light up your life. You know, doctors today have discovered there is healing power

in light. Today, they use light in all kinds of different ways. They use light therapy for

stimulating the hypothalamus. Of course, we're all

familiar with lasers. Lasers are used in all kinds of surgery. My father-in-law had laser surgery

on Wednesday for his cancer. I'm going to have laser surgery on my eyes on Monday. And I thought

about this. They're going to use a light to give me sight. That's a

principle. You need the light to get the sight to see life as it really is. You need God's

light in your life. And it's pretty amazing what doctors can do today in healing people,

but only God can heal a broken people, but only God can heal

a broken heart.

And only God can heal a broken spirit.

And only God can heal a broken relationship.

And only God can heal a broken dream.
