All y’all know my favorite soul singing group growing up was what? Temptations. Temptations.

You know, Eddie Kendricks, David
Ruffin, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin,

you know, they were the boys. And their most famous
song of all was what? My Girl. My Girl. Right?

Oh David Ruffin broke out this, “I got sunshine on

a cloudy day.” He said, “When it’s cold outside,
I got the month of May.” And then he said,

“Now, I know you don’t know what I’m talking about
cause what you want to know is, I guess you say,

what can make me”—watch this—”feel this
way?” And then he answered the question.

He said, “My girl.” He said, “In case you didn’t hear me, I’m talking about my girl.” What he was saying is,

“My external circumstances are dark, but
the sun is shining inside. And I guess you say,

what can make me feel this way.” He said, “It’s my girl.” Now you know what he was saying?

He was saying, “I got a love relationship
so hot that it doesn’t matter what

is happening on the outside to determine how I
feel on the inside,

cause how I feel on the inside is controlled
by this dynamic relationship with my girl—

that on cloudy days, I got sunshine, and
when it’s cold, I’m warm and hot and

burning up and it’s all because of my
girl.” I’m going somewhere. You may be in a

cloudy situation right now. You may
have a clouded past. People may have abused

you before and you don’t know where to go.
Every day is dark.

I’m here to tell you today that you can
have sunshine on a cloudy day. Your life

may be cold, and you may be shivering
because of mistreatment and abuse.

You may be trembling all over because things
aren’t going right. The doctor’s

prescription may not be in your best
interest, but I’m here to tell you when

it’s cold outside that you can still have
the month of May. Now I know what you’re

asking, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way?

My God. I’m talking about my God.
He gives me sunshine on a cloudy day.

When it’s cold outside, He can still give you
the month of May, but He’s got to be your God.

Listen, I don’t need no money, fortune,
or fame. I got all the riches that this

man could claim because of my God. I
guess you say, what can make this

preacher feel this way? It’s my God,
and I’m talking about my God. He can take

my bad past and still give me a smile.
That’s my God.

That’s my God. Is He your God today? He can
change your emotional stronghold.

He can change the way you feel today.
