here with me and the audience and this is a show elaine about encourage me about i hope yes and how our society is filled with so much turmoil people are depress yes and people are just losing sight of what's going on around them because so many circumstances are before have confronted them and we thank you for coming along on this journey with us and to offer words of encouragement and ladies and gentleman elaine garo is a senior citizen she's one she goes out and do ministry work to the elderly and offer them worst of hope and encouragement and this tumultuous time and elaine thank you i appreciate you coming now and been a part of this wonderful wonderful program and you know elaine we are in a society a culture where people are just in despair people are just hopeless and they have just lost in a sense of consciousness of what's going on around them even though things are bum barno whether in your mind whether in your family whether in their emotions yes you're right and you know but we're here to offer words of encouragement and this time there we're living and inlaid what do you think about how the situations people may be confronted with do you think there is hope in the midst of what's going on in our society yes as long as there's life there's hope as long as we're living and breathing hope is here we just have to find it and the hope the best hope you can have is to be found in god wow that is awesome because that is so true because many people are searching and they are looking to fill that space to fill that void within within their lives and we are here to tell people that no matter what they have experience no matter what they have gone through that there is hope right in the midst right or is actually right around them w yes and you find that even working and you're a volunteer in your capacity working with the same yours and the nursing home yes what have you experienced working in the nursing home yes i have experience i've been doing this with my church for a number of years now and i've gotten to the place where i love it going in to visit the nursing home and to minister to them i go once a month to the nursing home it brings me up for the rest of the month i feel i feel like somebody's in played a hot air balloon and then for the independent living we do a bible study every week and we have to clients the individuals the patients that you see in these nursing homes how has their attitude change when we first started coming they kind of looked at us kind of the corner of their eye but thought at the independent living home they're waiting in the hallway at the door if we're running late they're calling us on the phone where are you are you almost here so it's exciting with separation that we are getting and the so much of that nice that the people in the independent living home have for each other they are so i've learned from them to extend yourself be loving b be joyful big giving because this is what they do for each other they have each other's back many of them have challenges they have no in wheelchairs and it's just a joy to see them interact with each other yeah yes and i'm sure with a joy and you talked a lot and i hear you mention about love yes about love and when we look at the word of god is says a st john three sixteen is says for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life yes and when you think about forgot so love the world so it's like when we think about the love of god now in that love of god we have the joy we have peace and we have hope and that's what this program is about and i'm sure even in your own life has there ever been a time in your own personal life you felt despair or despondent or hopeless yes yes i can remember being a young wife and a young mother with three step stairs children and there were days when you feel kind of hopeless because it's so much you're doing for those children and working at the same time my husband was working i was working where you know being there for the kids then had not the work but there was a wonderful woman in my neighborhood who befriended us mrs hoover and mrs hoover would come bring the children to me let me be a grandmother to them i will take them to sunday school i will take them to church with me she would say you're young you need you and your husband need to go in you know maybe on a friday night go out and have dinner together or something take a break and that love that she showed us was what encouraged me to consider her words of coming to know christ as my personal savior she laid the groundwork with her loving kindness wow wow and when you talk about your experience and my experience and the love  factor is then where i am one point growing up i felt that i with me losing my father at a young age ethic i yes i did feel the communicate with you and to speak with you and to share with you about the love of god i have someone as well to share with me about the love of god because elaine when we look at saint john three sixteen for god so loved the world that he gave he gave but god is our heavenly father can we agree on there i agree yes and he is a heavenly father full of love compassion he's compassionate he's full of joy giving he's given and he's full of peace so no matter where  individual or even where i have found myself at one point and not have him our father because i had lost them at a young age yet he had a heart attack and that was very devastating to me for many years and it took god i want to bring someone to actually speak with me because of the the love that i was missing that i didn't have a natural father but when i see other people with their father it really really impacted my life but it really when we look at many people in our society who may feel down right do you think that love of god can reach them there is no one they cannot reach from the uttermost to the top to the gutter most at the bottom where he can reach everybody no matter where you are in life no matter what you've done where you've been he really can reach you and he loves you there's nothing you can do that b zero if they are drug addicts whether they have lost all sense of of where they are or where they are or where they're going you may tell me that the love of god can rescue them yes it can and does well because he did it for us he did it for me he did it for you and he'll do it for every anyone else so basically there's nothing impossible with him but with god nothing is impossible so we talk about the love of god there he gave so it's a gift yes it is and so he's full of good and those gifts know who our father is and whole we belong to yes yes and you come into an identity am i right even yes you're right you no longer suffer what the people say call an identity crisis one to begin to know god and you get in his word you begin to know who you are and who you are and where you belong all of that begins with getting to know god and christ wow so it is really when you think about the love of god and his love is so and compasses and his love is just balance of all and it's just  overflowing and there is no limit is there a limit to his love now you know his love reaches to the highest mountain it throws to the lowest valley but they are there is search and to belong there is searching to fill a void yes there are searching for love but a lot of times the search and all in the wrong places we usually do we reach many times we don't know where to look we really we know we need to look and search for something but where yes and that's true because after one point in my life i was searching yes and i didn't know how to go about trying to find what i was looking for i just knew i wanted the love i wanted bill said the i want to be long right and so i was searching and searching a lot of times when you're searching you do get up in a little bit of trouble sometimes you can sometimes you do and then but and a god knows the heart yes and yes and he knows that we're looking m r right all you have to do is be honestly and earnestly looking and  way but you're still trying we want to see that we're making an effort now in your case who to bring to your life to answer that call crying your heart but you know i have a friend of mine her name was parlor and she were friends still today plus and you know i was open because this is amazing is really amazing how the love of god is there he will actually send someone your way he wasn't so one on our way and to communicate a message to us yes he will and then love that's that's such an awesome thing that god and you can attest to that because yes he heard our cry sure did yes and so we look at the word of god there says fur st john three sixteen for god so loved the world that he gave so in that love he gave us a gift in his son christ jesus the the most wonderful gift you could ever give and it was a fantastic sacrifice he gave it all it would be like i have one son a grandson it would be like being asked the secretary says that well i don't think i could but being human we can't but god did he did in progress he did it because he loved the whole world and you know and that there was a sacrifice and their sacrifice is love yes it is so loved so loved you so loved me so loved everybody this crying out so loved the person that addicted to drugs so love the person that homeless and want a place all you you really need to say lord reach up and say help me that's a prayer it doesn't have to be fancy just help me god well the answer  boom and when we look at our society and many people as we have stated they're looking they're a surgeon yes and they're looking for their love they look for that attention and there is to encourage those who may be down those who may be depressed right that you do have a future yes you do you do have a hope all this is not  n now it could be your beginning oh honey not a new beginning a new beginning and then new begin an isn't that love yes it is to experience that love w experience this and it's there for anyone that want to wow so anyone who wants to feel the love who wants to experience the joy the peace is at their disposal yes it  is and that we're says for god so loved the work he gave he gave us an awesome good as you had indicated and that's the same gift you mentioned to those even in the nursing home correct jew is it doesn't matter how young you know it doesn't matter how old it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor or poor but the kid is will you receive the gift and that's the gift of the love that's the gift of hope that is they give a he gave us an awesome gift which was his son his son christ jesus christ jesus was his and that was also gave because he loved us you know before before even creation was he knew who we know was he order for you to experience that love you must receive the gift is being handed to you like this here i have a gift for you now you can take it or you can pull back and not take it a but if i bought brought to a beautiful gift of a diamond necklace oh yes you will receive it yes i will but in order to receive it you have to take it open up the package and see what's inside so i have to take it from take it from me that's the only way you're going to get it in and won't and that's what i had to do i had and you had to do the same yes i had to take the give receive the i said yes and that's how i'm going to experience this awesome love and that brought me hope and they can do the same thing to all those who are watching to all those who are view this program that no matter where you are no matter how you feel there is hope there is hope as long as you can move as long as there is life in your body all is not lost the is still hope for the future there is hope even in the midst of your circumstances yes there is because even the limits of our challenging circumstances that we have experience we were open to that love yes we are we have wanted to receive that hope yes and is made available to all those who is willing to take it also feel that they are they don't have no direction in life did you ever feel that way like yes now but how are they going to feel talked about to get quite true and so we got to be willing to make that connection yes be willing to change oh so elaine how was so  go about how to want to precede this gift want to experience this love the same way that you are not i have experienced it they simply they're going to need to open up their hands open up their heart and say i come that's with their mouth believe in their heart that jesus christ when on that cross died for them that their daily was rains and there for them for the rest of their life it's that simple is that has been willing and this is really now hard ladies and gentlemen is really is a is a matter of just open up your heart be willing to receive love be willing to take this also awesome give that elaine and i have received yes and we will you know we are just so full of of love and he has brought us through many trials in many tryouts that we have experienced and are wargame you agree with that only yes and so when we look at even in the society there were lived and many people would meet there they need to need to experience and we need to share you know it's a matter of coming out of the four walls of the church building and killing among assumed to someone else can brighten their day my father used to say a smile costs nothing but gives not a sincere smile so what can we tell them now asked me if she was at marshall's actually and she asked me well what is your broadcast about and i told her it was about bringing hope to those who are depressed and those who are despondent those who maybe fill in love and she said to me just yesterday i am depressed i need hope and i was able to offer  hope and even even as we communicate it was able to exchange information right where we're at a stand touch with her because she is right now her situation is to her is very come into my heart change me lord from the inside out i believe that your son died for me i believe you love me and now lord i now have
