I want to share with everybody, because it was close to Christmas. The story about the small, silent voice or whisper of God that's in our heads all the time, that we tend to ignore because of our busy lives, because of our jobs or our drama that's going on in our families, because we've heard Linda Dunham say something that's absolutely stupid.

1:26.0

But here's what I want you to all to hear, because I know we all have these stories. Maybe you didn't know who was talking to you in your mind.

1:34.0

I was working at a gym in Pasadena, California. This is back in, I don't know, like, 88, 1988. I'd had a motorcycle crash when I was living with my sister, and she had to move, and I had nowhere to live, basically.

1:48.0

So I moved in the gym where I was working, and I lived upstairs in the gym, 24 hour gym. I don't even know if they knew. I would just go throw a blanket down up there on some mats and go to sleep every night and get up and do my shift.

2:02.0

And I was in the office one day, and a guy comes in and says, hey, I'm a Marine from Camp Pendleton. I had a big break up with my girlfriend, and I lost all my money this weekend, and I need to get back down to Camp Pendleton. Can somebody give me $20?

2:18.0

Well, I just gone back to work, and all I had in my pocket was $20. A kid you not, that was all I had was a $20 bill. And I watched everybody in that office who I knew they had money. They said, no, sorry, we don't have any money, we can't help you out.

2:34.0

He went from person to person, and they were kind of wanting to get him out of the gym. And this voice kept telling me, give him your $20.

2:42.0

I kept saying to myself, no, I'm not going to give him that $20. All I got left. And I'm not going to get paid for another week. I'm tired of eating beanie, weenies, and chili every day at the bar next door.

2:53.0

So I followed the guy outside. I knew who was talking to me. And I walked up to the guy and I said, hey, listen, here's 20 bucks. And God bless you. Thank you for service.

3:04.0

He said, well, give me your dress. I'll send it back and said, no, no, that's God's money. God told me to give you that money. Have a have a good trip. I hope everything works out with your fiance, your girlfriend, never saw the guy again.

3:16.0

About five minutes later, I'm sitting in the gym sweating because I don't know where I'm going to get money to eat. And I don't want to ask people for money. And

3:24.0

I followed what God told me. I followed that that's that whisper in your mind of what to do. And a few minutes later, the guy walks by, he's got this t-shirt on. It's got a cross on it. It's about a music group. And I said, hey, I like your t-shirt, their brother.

3:38.0

And we started talking. I walked outside talking to him. And I mentioned to him, you know, how important it is to listen to that voice because this is a new lesson that had been pumped back into my brain.

3:48.0

And I told him I gave this guy $20. I didn't tell him that I didn't have any more money. I just told him I'd give him this guy $20. And we talked a little bit more. And I said, nice to meet you. I hope to talk to you again. He goes to walk off. He turns around. He says, you know what? He reaches back pocket. He pulls out $40. And he hands me $40. And I said, what's that for?

4:12.0

He said, God told me to give that to you. And I don't question God. I was shocked. I was shocked because I don't expect it to happen to people all the time. But in an instant, God had taught me a lesson. And that lesson carried forward my entire career, my entire life. All too sealed training when things were terrible. And men were having to look at their souls and quit right there.
