　　--as I take this to a close and reflect on the message
　　Living through the eye of the storm.
　　This particular message is one that's close to my heart…
　　…if I can be transparent for a moment
　　Now, I've been living in the eye of the storm for some time now.
　　Can we talk about it?
　　Like many of y'all
　　mine was self-imposed.
　　Now, I could flee or fight.
　　There ain't no change.
　　Or I can call on my friends. They ain't around
　　And it's at that moment…
　　…that God has you exactly
　　where he wants you to be.
　　Dependent on him.
　　You know I can think about
　　how difficult it was for me to let go…
　　…of my will, you know, my ego, and allow God to run things.
　　Your pastor's not perfect.
　　I'm flawed.
　　But with God's blessing and direction you know…
　　…I will see my way through the storm…
　　…and have clear skies
　　on the other side! Amen?
　　That's when I can look back and let my testimony
　　…be a beacon to help someone else out of the storm too.
　　As the choir begins to sing, there are some of you…
　　…who are going through your own storms.
　　Can we talk about it?
　　Won't you come on down?
　　Won't you come?
　　Amen.
　　Don't allow those situations in your life…
　　…to keep you from having a relationship with God.
　　No, you need to know him.
　　You know, many of us talk about,
　　"Oh, I'll get to know God tomorrow."
　　Tomorrow is a promise
　　that you can have salvation today.
　　Now, won't you come?
　　Won't you come on down brother?
　　Come on down.
　　Won't you come on
　　Won't you come sister?
　　Come on down, sister.
　　God loves you. God be praised.
　　God be praised!
　　Won't you come?
　　There is no perfect church.
　　if there's a perfect church, it stopped being perfect when we walked in.
　　but there is a perfect God.
