MISTY: Until I started really trying to do it! And then trying to do it according to the word of God. And I realized that love, the divine kind, not the fading kind, is the transforming power of our lives. Because that’s what motivates us because we’re designed to be motivated by love. You know Paul the Apostle in 2nd Corinthians 5, verse 9 through 11 says he that he made it his aim to be well-pleasing to the Lord. How many of you have that as your aim, to be well-pleasing to the Lord? And he goes on to say because we know that there’s going to come a day where we’re going to die. Right? I know that’s not a real “pepper-upper!” (laughs) But you’re going to die. I’m going to die. You’re going to die. Everybody’s going to die. Okay? We’re all on the same page. (laughs)

MISTY: Because life as we know it is not it. BUT because we know this and because we know there’s going to be a Judgment Day, and the Judgment Day is not just negative. You know in that passage when it’s talking about the judgment seat, that’s where you go, the Olympic, the Olympian would go to get the reward. He goes there’s going to be a day when you’re going to stand before One Man. One pair of fiery eyes. One Man! And only that One Man is going to look at you and say “You did it.” “You hit the mark.” Or “Your life was wasted.” In that day, even as a believer, many believers will feel a sting of regret in a moment, it will be gone for all eternity, but many, many believers will realize in that day that they lived a wasted life because they were aiming at the wrong target, preoccupied with the wrong thing. That is horrible to me! There’s nothing I’d fear more than “regret.” I mean I don’t want to get to that most important day of my life and feel a sense of regret. So I look at Him and I go I want to make it my aim to please You above all else! You know we have many dreams in our lives. We have dreams about our families. These are good dreams. We have dreams about our businesses. We have dreams about our ministry. About our job opportunities. We have many, many dreams. We have dreams for the lives of our children and on and on and on the dreams go. But there’s one dream that should be above it all. And that’s the dream to please Him. So I went on this journey to, to please Him and discovered that what He wanted for me to love Him with of all my heart, my soul, my mind, my strength. And I said, okay! (raps table) I’m going to do this. I’m going to love You with my mind. So I was like (closes her eyes and reaches out)…
