One Saturday afternoon, when I. 41 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 5: Was sixteen years old, I walked in the kitchen and 42 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 5: my father was grilling hamburgers at Saturday afternoon. 43 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I'm hungry. Dad. 44 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 5: He said great, He said, can you run to the 45 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 5: store for me and pick up a few little items 46 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 5: I just need some mustard, some pickles, just a couple 47 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 5: of little items. 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 4: I said absolutely. 49 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 5: I mean I was sixteen years old, just waiting to 50 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 5: get behind the wheel, any excuse to drive, and I 51 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 5: was right there. So he went to give me his keys. 52 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 5: And as he was giving me the keys, he said, 53 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 5: now look, Victoria. He said, I want you to go 54 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 5: straight to the grocery store. I want you to come 55 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 5: straight back, and don't open the passenger side window. Don't 56 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 5: roll it down because it's off the tracks. And he 57 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 5: said I have to get it repaired next week. Said, 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 5: don't open the window. I took the keys from his 59 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: hand and I rushed out the back door, jumped in 60 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 5: the car, cranked it up, drove down the street to 61 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 5: my best girlfriend's house and picked her up. 62 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: I said, we're going to the grocery store. 63 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 5: As we were on our way to the grocery store, 64 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 5: about to leave the neighborhood, we saw some of our 65 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: friends who lived in the neighborhood walking down the sidewalk 66 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 5: hearted waving. 67 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: I said, let's pull over so they can see us driving. 68 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: So we pull over. I said, roll down the window 69 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 4: so we can say hi. She looks at me and 70 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 4: she says, I thought. She said the window was broken. 71 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 4: I said, it's okay, it'll. 72 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 5: Be fine this time, This one time won't hurt anything. 73 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 5: So she rolls the window down and we talked to 74 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: our friends. 75 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: And I'll never forget. 76 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 5: As I was driving all she was rolling that window 77 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 5: back up, and it was as if time stood still. 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 5: That window shattered in one million pieces. 79 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: I looked at that window. I couldn't believe it, millions 80 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: of pieces. I looked at my girlfriend. I said, you're 81 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: going home with me. Listen. 82 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 5: I'll never forget driving that car home, thinking what am 83 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 5: I going to tell my father? Drove up the driveway, 84 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 5: walked in the back door, and there he stood in 85 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 5: the kitchen with the biggest knot in my throat. 86 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: I said, Dad, I got to tell you something. 87 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 5: I did everything you told me not to do. I said, Dad, 88 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: I shattered your window. Please forgive me. I couldn't believe 89 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: what I had done, but you know that Saturday afternoon 90 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 5: as a sixteen year old girl, and I'll never forget 91 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: my dad's response to me. 92 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 4: As I looked at my father and he looked back at. 93 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 5: Me, and I'm sure he was disappointed. He looked at 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 5: me with eyes of compassion. It was as if he 95 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: looked past my failure, past my mistake. 96 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: Somehow he saw a daughter. 97 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 5: On a journey, and he showed me unconditional love. That day. 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: He didn't forrap me, He didn't tell me how terrible 99 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: I was. 100 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 5: Somehow he found it in himself to look over my faults. 101 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: And show me his love. 102 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 5: Can I tell you, if an earthly father can do 103 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 5: such a thing, how much more does our heavenly father. 104 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: Look at us today through eyes of compassion and love. 105 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 5: So often we feel like he's looking at our mistakes, 106 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 5: counting our failures against us. 107 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 4: But can I tell you? 108 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 5: The scripture says when we were yet sinners, before we 109 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 5: even knew what was right and what was wrong, he 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: looked down through the corridors of time and he said, 111 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 5: I love you unconditionally. 112 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: That is the heart of the Father. Now your story 113 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: might not be the same with your earthly father. 114 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 5: I don't know, but I can tell you it has 115 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 5: helped me understand the love of my heavenly father. You see, 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 5: that day I had to do something. I had to 117 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 5: admit what I did, and then I had to ask 118 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 5: for forgiveness. Then I took it one step further, I 119 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 5: had to receive his forgiveness, because. 120 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 4: See, it was up to me at that point. 121 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 5: Was I going to make a decision that my father 122 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: loved me and that he indeed forgave me and I 123 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 5: could shake off the shame, shake off the guilt, because see, 124 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 5: there was something really important that I needed to do. 125 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 5: I needed to have a relationship with his father in 126 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 5: my life. And if I was going to draw back 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 5: and not feel like I was good enough, I would 128 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 5: have never come and asked him for the keys again. 129 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: But guess what I did. I asked him for the 130 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 4: keys again, and he gave them to me. 131 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 5: I'm saying all that to say some of. 132 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 4: You have shrunk back. 133 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 5: You're not asking God for the keys again. You're saying 134 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 5: he couldn't possibly want that for me. How could I 135 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 5: possibly achieve that? Man, I'm make a mistake all the time. 136 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 5: I can't get to where God wants. 137 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 4: Me to be. 138 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 5: If by even asking, will you even hear me? Can 139 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: I tell you? Your heavenly Father is not looking at 140 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 5: what you're doing wrong. He's looking at what you're doing right. 141 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: He sees your two good moods. Yeah, you may have 142 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 4: blown it. You may have even blown it yesterday. 143 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 5: But can I tell you when you come and you say, 144 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 5: God forgive me, he sees us as a work in progress. 145 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: We are sons and daughters in progress, and he's not 146 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: holding that against us. 147 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 6: Say that. 148 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 4: I'll tell you something. 149 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 5: When I asked my dad for the keys again, he 150 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: didn't say to me, well, don't forget what you did, 151 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 5: don't forget how you wronged me. He didn't come at 152 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: me with guilt and condemnation. And I want to remind 153 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 5: you today if you're not asking for the keys because 154 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 5: you feel guilty, maybe a little ashamed, Maybe you can't 155 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 5: even believe God would do that. 156 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 4: That is not of God. That is the accuser. 157 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 5: And those are the things you're gonna have to shake 158 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: off and make a decision today. When I ask God 159 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: for forgiveness, he freely forgives me. He pardons me live. 160 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 4: Twelve says He takes great pleasure. 161 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: In giving you the kingdom. That tells me He's got 162 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: some keys for you today. 163 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: You gotta ask. 164 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: You don't walk timid before God. He likes boldness, He 165 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 5: likes tenacity. Listen, God says, come boldly before the throne 166 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 5: of grace, so you can obtain mercy and find help 167 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 5: in your time of need. 168 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: See, there's the key right there.
