Life changing.

Y'all know I love Oprah.
Well, she interviewed T.D. Jakes a few weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with him.
Sure, I had seen him on tv before and noticed his books in the grocery store, but never really thought too much about it.

The excerpts of his sermon featured on the show have changed me.
I cannot tell you how many times since then I've heard the words. "He's blessing something that isn't enough."

His retelling of a simple bible story was profound to me and Oprah, too. That's probably because we're soul sisters!

I found the sermon all typed out online, it may not be verbatim, but you'll get the idea.

“...You know the story as well as I do.

The little boy there with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. Then the miracle begins to occur.

And He took it, and He blessed it. And I’d like to talk about that because He’s blessing something that is not enough.

Until you can be thankful for something that is not enough; then what you have cannot be multiplied into what is more than enough.

We are certain that he has 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread when He blessed it. As he broke it, that’s where we lose count.

You understand then that the blessing is in the breaking. That that refuses to be broken, refuses to be blessed. It is the breaking of life that produces the blessing of life.

Now, I know a lot of you don’t understand that because you yourselves have not been broken, but I have noticed in my life that the most blessed people I have ever met in my life have gone through something that has broken them."

—Bishop T.D. Jakes
