Rick Warren - Following Your Heart—Part Two

Hello everybody, This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Thank you

so much for joining us today, and if you're brand new,

welcome to the Daily Hope family. We hope you'll enjoy

the teachings of Pastor Rick Warren right here. I'm so

excited for all of you to learn about your shape.

It might not be the shape you're thinking of right now.

Rick loves to use acrostics, and this one is shape

your shape, your spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality and experiences.

And one of the reasons I love this series and

have shared it with so many friends is because Rick

talks about the way God wired you and why you

need not just know your shape, but how to use

it to do the things that God designed you to do.

So let's jump right in. Here's Rick with the final

part of a message called Unwrapping your Spiritual Gifts.

A couple weeks ago we started this series that God

he never makes copies of anything. He only makes originals

because the originals are far more valuable than any copy,

and that God made you for a purpose and He

has wired you or shaped you uniquely unlike anybody else

in the world. We talked about how that in architecture,

form follows function, In other words, tell me what you

want the building to be used for, and then I'll

tell you how to build it. But the opposite is

true with human beings. Function follows form. In other words,

look at the way God formed you, how he shaped you,

and then you'll know what you're supposed to do with

your life. And we said that there are five things

that make you you. Your shape, shape, spiritual gifts.

What am I gifted to do?

Heart? What do I love to do? Abilities? What are

my natural abilities? P personality and e experiences?

What are my.

Unique experiences that nobody else in the world has had.

These five things make you. They make up your shape.

Now today we're going to look at the h in shape.

Which is your heart. And in Proverbs chapter twenty seven,

they're on your outline. It says this as a face

is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person.

Your heart is what makes you you. Now when we

talk about heart, we're talking about your interest, your passions,

your desires, the emotional component of you, not your intellect,

but the emotional component of you, your hopes, your dreams,

your ambitions, that which motivates you to get up in

the morning, what drives you, what excites you, what interests you.

As I said, these.

Are all the components of your heart. And your heart,

the Bible tells us, affects everything you say, It affects

everything you do, It affects everything you feel. And your

heart is different than everybody else's heart beat. Now this

is true, not just emotionally, it's true physically. Did you

know that your heart beat is slightly different than everybody

else's heartbeat in the world. Just like you have a

thumbprint and an EyePrint and a voice print and a

footprint that's unique, you also have a unique heartbeat. It's

just slightly different than everybody else's. That's not only true physically,

it is true emotionally that there's some things that you're

extremely interested in and other things you couldn't care less about.

There are some things that are fascinating to you and

you could think about them or talk about them for

a long time, and other things you're bored to tears.

There's some things that really get you excited, that wind

your crank, that turn you on, that get you get

your juices running. And there's some things that, frankly, they

just leave you flat, you've got.

No interest in them at all.

And God gave each of us a different emotional heartbeat.

We all like different things, so that way everything in

the world gets done. If we all like to do

the same thing, if we all had the same loves,

the same interest, there would be a lot left undone

in the world. But on the heartbeat, we're all different. Now,

let me just show this. For instance, how many of

you would say, I don't.

Just like dogs, I am a dog lover.

I really really love dogs. Gonna see your hands, all right?

These are the dog lovers. You're probably sitting next to

a cat lover.

Now.

How many of you say, I'm not really into dogs, but.

I really really love cats.

I love cats now, I'm a fanatic about cats, cause

see your hands all right. How many of you say

I couldn't care less about either? All right, Okay, see,

we're all just different. How many of you would say,

you know, what like a fix? I have to have

my football. I just love football. I gotta have my

football fix, particularly in the fall, because of your hands. Yeah,

how many of you'd say if football was never again

on TV.

I wouldn't miss it? Can I see your hands? We

just started some family feuds. Just there. I'll be doing marriage.

Counseling after the last service. Well, the truth is, we

all have different interests. How many of you think it's

rude when people on the bleachers leave early?

Huh? I just thought i'd throw that in, you know,

just you know, every once in a while, even I

do a commercial. What can I say? Now?

There are some things you care deeply about and some

things you couldn't care less about. Where do you think

that came from? It came from God. God hardwired it

into your system, all your interests, the hobbies, the sports,

the things that God put that in you. In fact,

the Bible says this in Philippians chapter two.

It is God.

It is God who pred uses in you the desires.

That's your interests, your passions, your desires, your hopes, your dreams,

your ambitions.

That which excites you.

It is God who produces in you these desires and

actions that please him.

God made you to be you.

He didn't want you being interested in stuff other people

interested in. He wants you interested in the stuff you're

interested in. And He takes pleasure and enjoying you watch

He enjoys watching you enjoy his creation. God enjoys watching

you receive enjoyment. Now, as I said, God placed this

guidance system in you, your heart, this emotional component of

your life that determines what you say out of the

heart the man speaks, and what you do and what

you feel and all these things. Now here's an important thing.

I want you to write it down. When I do

what God shaped me to do, two things. I enjoy

it and I'm good at it. When I do what

God shaped me to do, I enjoy it and I'm

good at it.

These are two things that help.

You determine your heart. What kind of heart God gave you. Now,

the first evidence of heart is that you enjoy it.

You get pleasure in the things that God wired you

to enjoy to do. You get enjoyment, You get satisfaction.

The Bible says you delight in it. Now, I wonder

how many of you really delight in your work? You

feel I was wired for this. I always shape this.

I delight in my work most of the time. You

have two attitudes towards your work.

One of them is.

Good morning, Lord, and the other.

Is good Lord, it's morning.

Now, which of those you say tends to be dependent

upon whether you are shaped for that work and you

have a heart for it or not. You see, when

you do what you love to do, nobody has to

pay you, nobody has to reward you.

You don't need a Superville to do it.

When you do what you love to do, you don't

need external motivations. You don't have to have contests and competitions.

You just flat out love doing what you're doing. You

don't need any external things.

This is what I do.

I pastor this church because I love to pastor this church.

I was wired to pastor this church. I'm not going anywhere.

I love this church. I do it for free. I

don't take a salary here. You know you're paid to

be good, but I'm good for nothing, and I do

it because I love to do it. And people say

you're ever going to leave? Said back, of course not,

I'm not going to leave saddle back. I love this church.

It's what I was wired to do. On the other hand,

if you've ever been in a job that you weren't

wired to do, you weren't shaped to do. If you've

ever been in a job you don't have the heart for,

it's a drag. If you've been in a job that

you don't have a heart for. It's just boring you

to tears and you're going, Oh, I got to get

out of here, and it's.

Just a real drag.

Today we're going to talk about how to follow your heart,

because your heart says a lot of God's will for

your life. But the problem is our hearts get beat up,

they get bruised, they get bumped around, they get broken,

and we're going to talk about that. But one of

the things that you know is that when you're doing

what God gave your heart to do, you flat out

enjoy it. The other thing that you know you're doing

what God made you do is you're good at it.

If you're good at it, that's a pretty good indicator

that God shaped.

You for it.

You're productive. When you do what you have a heart for,

your creative you're productive.

You're effective.

In fact, the secret of an effective life is simply this.

Do what you love to do. Do what you love

to do, and you'll be effective at it. If you

don't love doing it, you'll never be effective at it.

People are rarely.

Successful at things they hate doing, apparently because they don't

have any passion for it. You know, the top athletes.

Why are they so good because they love doing it.

God gave them the heart to run or jump, or

surf or play basketball or whatever. And the guys at

their top of the field and when they're the top

of field Olympic athletes, they don't do it for profit.

They don't even do it for praise. They do it

because of their passion. It is a passion with them.

And that word passion is another word for heart. That

when we talk about your heart and how God shaped you,

it's your passion that you're passionate about some things.

And why is this important?

Because only passionate people get things done. You're not going

to accomplish much in life unless you're passionate about it.

Moses was passionate about setting his people free from Egyptian bondage.

Paul and the Bible is passionate about sharing the good

news with everybody in the world. A guy named Wilberford

William Riverforce, a Christian, was passionate about abolishing slavery from

the British Empire, and he did it, you know, all

kinds of Gandhi was passionate about liberating his country from

British rule and having an independent India. A guy named

Martin Luther was passionate about reforming the church in Europe,

and the Reformation and the Enlightenment all came as a

result of one man having a passion. And then another

guy named Martin Luther King had a passion for equality

and for justice and influenced the world.

You only influence.

Things when you're passionate about it. And so today we've

got to look at uncovering those covered up passions in

your life, those covered up interests in your life. Why

because when you have a heart for something, you give

it your best. If you don't have a heart for something,

you don't. And the Bible calls this being fruitful. Look

up here on the screen, Jesus said in John fifteen,

you give glory to my Father when you produce a

lot of fruit. Now what does that mean? What does

it mean to have a fruitful life? It means you're productive,

you're effective, you're creative. And the only way you bring

glory to God is when you do what you were

made to do. And God looks down and says you're

doing it, and you enjoy it and you're good at it,

and it brings joy to you. And it brings joy

to God. He says, you bring fruit, you bear fruit,

you're productive, and he says that gives me glory.

It gives me honor. God made you to shine like

a light in the world.

He doesn't want you to cover up your talents, and

he doesn't want to cover up your passions, your hearts,

your interests. It brings in pleasure. You were made to shine.

Look at this verse on the screen, Matthew five. Jesus says,

let your light shine before others, so that they may

see your good deeds, what you were wired to do.

Do the thing you were made to do. And he says,

that's a witness that they may see your good deeds

and praise your Father in heaven. Notice it doesn't say

anything they are about speaking. It says, let your light shine,

not speak your light. Let your light shine before others,

so they may see not here, but see the good

deeds and praise.

Your Father in heaven.

When people become what God made him to be, it

brings glory to God and people go praise the Lord.

You were made to shine. Now we were all made

to shine. You were made to shine. That as life

goes on, you tend to get a little dimmer, you

don't stay as bright as God intended.

For you to be.

Now what I mean by that, every person, everybody in

sound in my voice. God has put certain passions in

your heart, certain desires, certain dreams, ambition, certain interest and

we all are different in these ways. But the problem

is this, most people have never ever really acted on

or fulfilled or attempted or developed or utilized their God

given passions, their interests, their dreams. In fact, we bury

our dreams. God doesn't want that. What keeps you from

following your heart? Well, before we can talk about how

to follow your heart, we need to deal with five

heart stoppers. These things are like spiritual cholesterol. They block

your heart, They stop your passions. They cause you to

conform to society rather than being the unique person God

meant for you to be. What are they? Number one?

The number one heart stopper is disappointment. Disappointment when you've

been heard, you tend to pull back into a shell

and say, I'm never going to let anybody else hurt me,

and you give up on your dreams. You give up

on your ambitions, you give up on your interest, on

your passions, and you pull back into a protective mode.

That says, don't get hurt is the number one goal

of life. Bad idea. You're not living, You're just existing.

When you live in a shell like that, it's a

self imposed prison. And the Bible says, when I have

an expectation and then it doesn't turn out the way

that I intended, then I get disappointed. In fact, it

says in Proverbs thirteen twelve, hope deferred. That means a

dream and an ambition. A desire deferred makes the heart sick. Well,

if first you don't succeed, welcome to the human race.

You're normal. Almost nobody succeeds on the first try, but.

We often give up.

And when we allowed disappointment to come into our lives,

it stops our heart. Number two is fear. Fear is

the second heart stopper. It keeps you from being what

God wants you to be. It's a self imposed prison.

Jesus told a story about this. He called it the

parable of the talents. We actually get the word talent

in English from this story out of the Bible. In

the Bible, a talent was an amount of silver, It

was a weight, It was an amount of money in silver,

and he tells the story of this wealthy man who

gives three servants. One servant five talents and one three

and one one talent. And he says, go out and

invest it. Make the most of what you've been given.

That's what God says to you. Make the most of

what you've been given. I'm not going to judge you

according to anybody else, but make the most of what

you've been given. One guy comes back. He's doubled his investment,

God says, The Master says, good job. Second guy comes back,

He's doubled his investment. The Master says, good job. The

third guy comes back. He says, well, I didn't do

anything with it. He says what he said, No, I

just bury it in the ground. He said, you buried

your talent in the ground. Why, he said, I was afraid.

It is fear that causes you to bury your talents.

It is fear that keeps you from living your dream.

It's fear that keeps you from attempting that goal. It's

fear that corrous your passion and limits your vision and

shrinks your heart. It's a heart stopper. There's a third thing,

and it's guilt. Oh boy, this is a big one.

You cannot be guilty and go after your dream at

the same time. Why, because guilt dreams you have enormous

amounts of energy. It's like carrying a big sack of

garbage on your back all the time. You're gonna get

tired because you're carrying around all the regrets of your past,

all the shame of your past, all the guilt of

your past.

You cannot be confident.

And guilty at the same time. That's why people lose

their confidence. They lose their confidence because I think, what

if somebody else falls finds out and who did I

tell that to? And who did I tell it to?

And I've always got to be protecting myself. And they

lose their confidence because they're guilty. Now, friends, God never

intended for you to walk around with a bunch of

guilt and regrets. That's what Jesus Christ came to do,

to forgive it all. And he came to earth and

he was nailed to a cross, so you can stop

nailing yourself to a cross. He was hung up for

your hang ups. He died for all your sins so

they could be completely forgiven. He's paid for him, so

you don't have to pay for him. You can stop

beating yourself up about everything you've ever done wrong has

already been paid for by Jesus Christ. That's called the gospel.

Gospel means good news. It's the best news in the world.

What's the best news in the world. Everything you've ever

done has already been forgiven. You just have to accept

that forgiveness from Jesus Christ. Put your trust in him.

That's called the good news. And when you do that

and you realize everything I've ever done wrong or will

do wrong, Jesus Christ has already paid for and forgiven,

and I all have to do is accept it. What

he did for me. Now that's gonna set my heart free,

and I'm going to move ahead and become what I've

always wanted to be because I'm not carrying this garbage

bag of guilt and regret and shame around and beating

myself up all the time.

You can stop beating yourself up.

Disappointment, fear, guilt, These are heartstoppers.

The fourth one is another big one. Bitterness.

Bitterness will eat you alive. It's worse than cancer. It

is the worst heart disease you can have. Bitterness because

when you become resentful, and you're always thinking about how

to retaliate and get revenge, and you're always thinking about

that person who.

Hurts you in the past. It keeps you stuck in

the past.

You can't get on with the present or the future

because you're so hung up about that.

Person who hurt you. Let it go.

They don't deserve it, but you don't deserve it either.

You don't deserve to be forgiven. God forgave you. It's

not because they deserve it. You let them go because

you need to get on with your life. When you

hold on to hurt from the past, it's like driving

a car looking in the rear view mirror. You're gonna

crack up. You're always looking in the past.

Now listen, your past is past.

There were people who hurt you in your past, and

I'm sorry as your friend and as your pastor.

I'm sorry, I really am.

I'm sorry you've been hurt, and God is sorry too

about your hurt. But the fact is your past is past,

and the people in your past can't hurt you anymore

unless you allow them to.

And the way you allow them to.

It was by rehearsing it in your mind and every

time you go over he hurt me that way, she

hurt me that way. You go over it and over,

you're allowing them to hurt you again.

Let it go.

That is a heart stopper. It's a heart disease that

keeps you from enjoying life.

Now.

The fifth heart stopper is rejection, and it may be

the most painful one of all. Anyone who's ever experienced

rejection from a friend or a parent, or a former's spouse,

or a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you know how that

hurts your heart.

Rejection hurts. Now.

Notice what the Bible says about all of these. In fear,

it says, anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down.

That's fear.

In guilt, it says, my sins have caught up with me,

so I can no longer see I've lost heart. In bitterness,

it says, when my heart was bitter and I was angry,

I was senseless. In other words, you don't think logically

when you're either guilty or resentful. And in rejection, it says,

they cut me down with sharpened tongues.

Other words, they were attacking me verbally.

They aim their bitter words like arrows straight at my heart.

Some of you when you were growing up had people

say things like this to you, either out on the

playground or maybe even a parent or a relative. You're

not worth anything. You're never going to mount too much,

you'll never be a success. You're not good at filling

the blank. You're uncoordinated, you're this, You're that, You're not worthless,

You'll never and on and on and on. And you

know what, you believe them because they were an adult

and you were a kid, and you thought all adults

are right.

They were wrong. They lied to you.

They were lying to you at that moment. You need

to go back and erase that take. You need to

stop building your life on what critics said to you

and start building your life.

On what God says about you.

And God says this, I made you, I formed you,

I shaped you, I planned you. I have a purpose

for your life. I put certain abilities in you and

a heart, and I love it when.

You do what I made you to do. And I

didn't make it to be.

Anybody else, And you don't have to please anybody else

if you please me the Lord. You're doing the right

thing all the time, and you need to stop living

for the approval of other people. Listen, some of you

think that if I just can be perfect, then I

will have everybody's approval and they'll all love me. No,

they won't even if you were perfect. Jesus was perfect

and they killed him, they put him on a cross.

So even if you are perfect, they're gonna be people

who don't like you. I hate to tell you this,

but some of those people you've been trying to get

their approval for years, You're not gonna get it. In

all likelihood, you're never gonna get it. It's not your problem,

it's their problem. But here's the even better news. You

don't need it. You don't need it. You don't have

to have their approval to be happy. But you do

have to get rid of the heart stoppers of disappointment

and fear and guilt and bitterness and rejection. We're going

to talk about how to do that in a minute.

You know, the Backstreet Boys used to sing a song

that said, looking back on the things I've done, I

was trying to be someone. In other words, I was

just playing this part, acting in the dark. In other words,

I was a phony. I was a fake. I was

trying to be what other people expected me to be.

I wasn't really living my heart, the heart that God

put in me. I was living with other people, and

my shape, my heart got all bent out of shape.

You need to today stop listening to what other people

are saying to you and listen to what God says

to you. And if you feel like giving up, don't

give up. Don't give up. If you feel like giving up.

On that dream, on that passion, don't do it.

Don't do it. God says, let me reshape your heart.

My prayer for you is that God will show you

the shape of your heart. That you'll get back to

being what God intended for you to be and not

waste a second more trying to be something that other

people would want you to be, that the world would

want you to be, that people try.

To squeeze you in the mold. God made you to

be you. That's what this whole series is about.

And when you be you and you do it for

God's glory, you enjoy it and you're good at it,

and it brings glory to God too. On the back

of your outline. The Bible says this. In Colossians chapter three,

God says, whatever you do, whatever you do. I don't

care if it's in the garbage or the garage or

the garden, or it's in an office, or it's in

a school or wherever. He says, whatever you do, work

at it with all your heart. Whatever you do, he says,

anything you do in life, you better do it with

all your heart, with your passion, with your interest, with

your vitality. Whatever you do, work at it with all

your heart. As working for the Lord, not for men.

You have a job right now that you go to

and they're paying you, and you think you're working for men,

but really life is a test.

You're working for God.

And God is saying, how can I trust them? What

kind of worker are they? Because this life is preparation

for the next, and God is watching now. How do

I work at it with all my heart when my

heart hurts? How do I work at it with all

my heart when my heart's been beat up or bruised

or broken or battered around? You do five things? Number one,

open it. You need to open your heart to Jesus.

Open it up as why as it needs to be

to Jesus Christ, the one who gave you that heart. First,

you open it up to him that's the start. This week,

I got a letter from Darren and I asked him

for permission to share it with him. He said, okay,

Dear Pastor Rick. I was born into a family of churchgoers,

Catholics from Italy on my mom's side and Baptists from

Missouri on my dad's side.

That's a great combination. After my wife.

And I got married, we got involved in a small

church that had some trouble and ended up splitting apart,

and I was hurt. I lost my focus on God

and I began to focus on making money instead. I

built a giftware company to ten million in sales, and

money became the number one goal in my life. About

that time, we started attending here at Saddleback, but my

heart was so messed up I just sat on the sidelines.

Six months after our first child was born, my wife

had an affair and she became pregnant with another man's baby.

My marriage fell apart, and for the next ten years

I raised my son as a single dad. Fortunately, a

friend introduced me to Saddleback Separated Men's Ministry, and there

I built a friendship with over one hundred guys. I

could not have made it without those guys. More importantly,

when I opened my heart to Jesus, it began to change.

I then asked God to bring a christ like woman

into my life to share my heart and my life.

One day at my son's baseball game, I was talking

with some people about building at centered marriage and a

woman named Patty overheard and said, that's the husband for me. Well,

we're now married with a blended family of six, and

we are so happy being in a saddleback small group together,

serving together in the youth ministry, and I'm still helping

guys in the men's ministry. Rick, this is a place

where hearts get changed. Mine was, and I thank God

for it every day. Nobody can change your heart like

Jesus Christ. I don't care what heartache you've been through,

what habit you're dealing with, what hang up you can't

let go of. Nobody can deal with your heart the

way Jesus can.

Now.

God gave you a heart, and he emplaced in you

some passions, some desires, Those came from God, some ambitions.

God put those in your heart, hardwired it into you

to make you you.

But this is very important.

Unless they are under His control, they will be misused.

They will be abused, they will be misapplied, they will

be misdirected, and they will be wasted in your life.

God did not give you your heart and interest and

passions for your own benefit just to go, well, I'm

going to do whatever I want to do forget you, God.

No.

God gave them for a purpose, and unless you use

them for His purpose, they will be misused, wasted, and applied, misapplied.

You see, friends, all around the world, there are millions

and millions of passionate people, talented people, people with interest

and dreams, ambitions and passions that are being misused and abused.

And it breaks God's heart. He's saying, I didn't mean

it for that. I didn't mean it for that. And

that's why, in spite of their talent and their ability

and their heart and their passion and all these things,

they are unhappy because if it's not used the way

it was intended, it makes you miserable. When your passions

are misused, it makes you miserable. And some of you said, well, Rick,

to be honest with you, I don't think I'm really

passionate about anything right now.

Well you know what that means, don't you.

It means you are disconnected from God at this moment.

You cannot be connected to God and be dispassionate. When

you are plugged into God, it's like plugging into two

twenty voltage, you get passionate. In fact, the closer you

get to God, the more passionate you become, and the

further away from God you get, the more dispassionate you become.

God is a passionate God.

The only reason you have emotions is you're made in

his image.

God is emotional.

God gets jealous when he sees you ignoring him for

something else.

God has love. God has feelings that can be hurt.

Yes, the only reason you have emotions is God gave

them to you because He is an emotional God. And

God says, I have loved you with an everlasting love,

and I will never stop loving you.

And there's nothing that can make me stop loving you.

That's passion.

And no matter what you've done wrong, I will love you.

And in the Book of Isaiah, he says, I've engraved

you on the palms of my hands for telling Jesus

the nails going through his palm for me.

This is how much I love you.

Look at this I'm willing to let him nail my

hands across so you can be forgiven. That's how much

I love you. No one's ever going to love you

like God does. He's a passionate God. And when you

spend time with God on a daily basis, and you

get with him regularly, and you get plugged in, you

can't help but being passionate, start to have the heart

that God does for other people and the world, and

you start to feel the things that God feels and

feel the way He does. Listen, who you hang out

with really does make a difference. I mean, I grew

that with any teenager. Give me a teenage kid and

I take him and I put him with a group

of dispassionate kids who care about nothing, who are apathetic

about everything, And what happens within a matter of weeks.

That kid becomes apathetic. What do you want to do?

I don't know what.

Who you hang out with makes a difference. You hang

out with God, You're going to be passionate.

Thank you so much for joining us on Pastor Rick's

Daily Hope today. Hey, I'm wondering have you ever asked

my life. If you're like me, of course you have

and you're not alone. God intentionally created you to fulfill

a unique purpose. It's so important that you discover how

you can live the full and abundant life that God

designed just for you. In the Shape to Make a

Difference Bible study. It was created by Pastor Rick and

taught by Pastor Eric Reithe. Now, in this study, you're

going to see how the acrostic shape which stands for

spiritual gifts, heart abilities, personality and experiences. And it will

reveal how God wired you and how you can use

your shape to do the things that God made you

study and it's going to help clarify to you your

future goals and it shows you how you can have

the most fulfilling life possible, a life lived for God's
