Hey everyone, welcome to Pastor Rick Warren's Daily Hope.

Now we're going to continue our series today called Building My Life on Values That Last.

And Rick will press on and show us how we benefit when we apply the biblical principles of trust,

self-control, balance, respect, forgiveness, moral purity, fairness, honesty, and love to our lives.

And now let's join Rick and listen in for the final part of a message called Showing

Respect.

Jesus is watching you.

He's watching you to see how you treat the people he died for.

Even the most despicable person and the most un on our wrong lifestyle Jesus still died for him and God

wants to see how you're gonna how you gonna be are you gonna be gentle not judgmental you have to tell the truth tactfully. Now the

greatest lab for this folks is the family. It's in the marriage. That's where we're

to learn the principles of respect. If you

don't it causes all kinds of problems in your life. And some of you have had some

bad relationships with your parents or with your husband or wife because of this.

And I want to say to you,

it's never too late to get started.

I want you to listen to this story of CJ.

Would you give him a warm welcome. I would like to tell you about how God gave me a second chance on learning to love and respect my wife after years of a relationship that had become almost

non-existent. It happened after I committed my life to Christ the second time and let me give you just a little background about that.

I grew up in an area of the country that was enduringly referred to as the Dust Bowl.

My family was influenced by a very strict German father.

We didn't express our feelings or our emotions.
