00:00Our God died on the cross to give us a salvation that we did not earn, that we could not
00:08earn.
00:09He paid a price that we could not pay.
00:12We had a debt that we could not pay.
00:15And Christ paid that debt by standing in our place of judgment.
00:21Christ was bidding for you.
00:24Christ took the punishment for you.
00:27Christ was resurrected for you.
00:30And that through Christ's resurrection, we could have eternal life.
00:35Through the blood of Christ and what he's done on the cross, the work of Christ Jesus, we can have
00:43salvation.
00:44I have nothing but good news today.
00:47The gospel is the good news.
00:50The best news that there is, there is no better news than that of Jesus Christ.
00:56Our world is filled with so much despair, so much anxiety, so much worry, so much stress, so much drama.
01:04But in Christ Jesus, there is fullness of joy.
01:08Oh, in Christ Jesus, there is satisfaction.
01:10We are trying to satisfy ourselves in so many ways, but Jesus Christ called himself the bread of life, meaning
01:19that he sustains all of life, meaning that he satisfies our hunger and our thirst.
01:25Oh, I pray that we would know Jesus today.
01:29Great is our God.
01:30God, oh God, dear Heavenly Father, I come before you right now asking for your help today.
01:36Asking that men would know you.
01:38Asking that men would recognize that you are God.
01:42Asking that men would surrender their lives.
01:44Oh God, move upon the hearts of men.
01:46We are in need of your love.
01:49We are in need of your strength.
01:51Jesus, our God, is a great, mighty God.
01:54And I just want to lift his name up today.
01:57I want to lift his name up.
01:59He's a good God, a mighty God.
02:01He's worthy of praise.
02:03He's worthy of our lives.
02:06Oh God, help us.
02:08Our God has helped us.
02:10God bless you.
02:11God bless you.
02:11God bless you.
02:12God bless you.
02:43Until they remember who you really are.
02:46Because they will.
02:48Children grow.
02:49They reflect.
02:50They see patterns.
02:52And eventually, they leave the lies.
02:55Here's the truth.
02:58Your child is still your child.
03:00That connection is not erased.
03:02It's interrupted.
03:04They break free.
03:04They won't need you to be perfect.
03:06They'll need you to be safe, present, grounded,
03:11and healed enough to not collapse when they finally say,
03:14Why didn't you fight harder?
03:16Your child will need you to be whole enough to say,
03:20I never stopped loving you.
03:22You were never the problem.
03:25You're home now, and you're safe.
03:27You didn't lose your child.
03:29They were pulled onto a path that they have to walk.
03:33For now.
03:33Yes, it is unfair.
03:36But this path is shaping their character in ways you can't see yet.
03:40The alienating parent is a temporary detour, not a permanent destination.
03:45You weren't rejected.
03:47You were removed.
03:48But only from access, not from love.
03:52You don't have to stay stuck in guilt.
03:54What can you do now?
03:55That's where your power lives.
03:58One is to heal your nervous system.
04:00So that when they come back, they come home to peace and not pain.
04:05Number two is stop blaming yourself.
04:07You can't change the past, but you can change who you become.
04:11Three, people aren't going to like hearing this, but see this time as sacred.
04:17Use it to rebuild your identity, your health, your purpose, so that you're ready.
04:23You have to be ready for when your kids come back.
04:26Or they might not be as ready to reconnect with you.
04:33Four is focus on the long game.
04:35Your children are yours for life.
04:36Childhood is just the beginning.
04:38Five is keep loving them silently.
04:42Your love still reaches them, even through silence, even through lies.
04:46Energy never lies.
04:48Your child's story isn't over, and neither is yours.
04:51Yes, they were robbed of the connection they should have had.
04:54But they'll remember.
04:56They'll question.
04:57They'll come home.
04:58When they do, let them find the strongest version of you.
05:01One who didn't give up.
05:03The one who grew in the shadows.
05:05The one who became the safest place they've ever known.
05:08Because in the end, your children are your children for life.
05:12And life always finds its way back to love.
05:14The one who became the mostะตัั of you.
05:18The one who fell andistic situated.
05:18The one who looked codependent.
