Three years ago, I was broken, hopeless and contemplating suicide: I had come to believe that my future and value was how people defined me. I learned from Bishop Jakes' sermons that I had the same value and potential as everyone else, that "chocolate" (not being white) is a beautiful color, that God loves everyone regardless of color. Now, I wake up every day with joy in my heart, not wanting life to stop. I do not belong to Pastor Jakes' church but I am so grateful that he brought me back into a relationship with my Creator. If someone should never drop the mic is Dr. Jakes, he does know how to inspire people. Thank you, Bishop Jakes.
