This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we continue in a series called The Foundation of a Life Well Lift.

In these teachings, Rick shows us that God has given each one of us something special,

whether it's talent, education, opportunities, ideas, or creativity,

and he wants us to use what he's given us for his glory and for our benefit.

In just a few moments, we're going to tell you how you can get a beautifully illustrated devotional for children by Pastor Rick

that will help them discover how much God loves them and that he has a special plan and purpose for their life.

You can find out more by going to www.pastorrick.com while you listen to today's message.

Or you can just text the word daily to 800-600-5,000-4 for more information.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick with Part One of a Message called Learning My True Identity in Christ.

You know, a few years ago I read a news report about a man with no identification

who was found beaten and naked and unconscious behind a hamburger restaurant in Georgia.

He regained his consciousness, but he had total amnesia for the past eight years.

And nobody knows who this guy is. He had no idea on him.

The FBI ran his fingerprints in DNA, found nothing.

Dr. Phil on TV hired a private investigator, found nothing.

A nurse named Catherine took him in and is still trying to reawaken his memory.

But nobody knows this guy's true identity.

Now imagine if you were that man.

And for the last eight years, you had had your identity completely stolen.

How would you feel about that?

You know, this week I read about the fact that identity theft cost people billions of lost dollars and pesos and euros and uons and other currencies.
