<b>SID: LOOK, I'M A JEW AND</b> <b>WAS TAUGHT GOD IS</b>
<b>UNTOUCHABLE.</b>
<b>I CERTAINLY NEVER HEARD OF</b> <b>GOD HOLDING SOMEONE.</b>
<b>BUT MY GUEST CLAIMS GOD</b> <b>HELD HIM FOR 45 MINUTES</b>
<b>AND COMPLETELY</b> <b>REVOLUTIONIZED HIS LIFE ON</b>
<b>THIS EDITION OF IT'S</b> <b>SUPERNATURAL.</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪] LIFE AFTER DEATH</b> <b>EXPERIENCES AND ANGELIC</b>
<b>COMMUNICATIONS ARE ON THE</b> <b>INCREASE.</b>
<b>TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS</b> <b>WHOM DOCTORS HAVE GIVEN NO</b>
<b>HOPE ARE UNEXPLAINABLY</b> <b>CURED.</b>
<b>PEOPLE ARE BEING</b> <b>MYSTERIOUSLY PROTECTED</b>
<b>FROM NATURAL DISASTERS.</b>
<b>SID ROTH, YOUR</b> <b>INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER,</b>
<b>EXAMINES THIS INVISIBLE</b> <b>WORLD ON IT'S SUPERNATURAL.</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>SID: HELLO. I'M SID ROTH YOUR</b> <b>INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER.</b>
<b>NOW COMING FROM A JEWISH</b> <b>BACKGROUND,</b>
<b>GOD IS HOLY.</b>
<b>GOD IS A MILLION MILES</b> <b>AWAY.</b>
<b>HE'S THERE, BUT MAYBE HE'S</b> <b>NOT SO INTERESTED IN ME AS</b>
<b>AN INDIVIDUAL.</b>
<b>SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE</b> <b>SHOCK I HAD WHEN I MET</b>
<b>JACK FROST.</b>
<b>AND JACK, YOU SAID TO ME</b> <b>YOU WENT TO A MEETING IN</b>
<b>WHICH GOD HUGGED YOU FOR</b> <b>45 MINUTES.</b>
<b>NOW THIS IS FOREIGN TO</b> <b>MOST PEOPLE'S EARS.</b>
<b>WHAT DO YOU, FIRST OF ALL,</b> <b>WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GOD</b>
<b>HUGGED YOU FOR 45 MINUTES?</b>
<b>JACK: WELL IT'S FOREIGN TO</b> <b>MY EARS,</b>
<b>SID.</b>
<b>I HAD BEEN WALKING WITH</b> <b>GOD FOR ABOUT 16 YEARS AND</b>
<b>I HAD KNOWN HIM AS A FAR</b> <b>OFF,</b>
<b>NEVER CLOSE, DOING ALL THE</b> <b>RIGHT THINGS,</b>
<b>SAYING ALL THE RIGHT</b> <b>THINGS,</b>
<b>BEING SO RELIGIOUS, BUT</b> <b>NEVER REALLY,</b>
<b>NEVER REALLY, </b> <b>SID: OH MY GOODNESS!!</b>
<b>AND THEN AT THIS MEETING I</b> <b>WAS ON THE FLOOR JUST</b>
<b>SITTING NEXT TO MY WIFE.</b>
<b>MY WIFE WAS ON THE FLOOR</b> <b>PRAYING AND SHE WAS CRYING</b>
<b>AS GOD WAS TOUCHING HER.</b>
<b>AND A PASTOR STOOD IN THE</b> <b>PULPIT AND BEGAN TO PRAY</b>
<b>OVER THE MEN.</b>
<b>IN FACT, IT WAS A PASTORS</b> <b>MEETING,</b>
<b>A PRAYER FOR THE MEN</b> <b>THERE.</b>
<b>AND HE SAID, FATHER, I</b> <b>JUST WANT TO PRAY FOR THE</b>
<b>MEN HERE WHO'S FATHERS - </b> <b>SID: I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE</b>
<b>YOU SAID THAT.</b>
<b>JACK: THAT'S WHAT I'M</b> <b>THINKING ABOUT.</b>
<b>SID: SO WHAT DID HE SAY?</b>
<b>JACK: I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE</b> <b>THAT YEARS AGO.</b>
<b>BUT HE STARTED PRAYING FOR</b> <b>THE MEN WHOSE FATHERS</b>
<b>NEVER HELD THEM AS LITTLE</b> <b>BOYS.</b>
<b>AND I STARTED CRYING.</b>
<b>SID: YOU DON'T KNOW THIS,</b> <b>JACK,</b>
<b>BUT IN JEWISH FAMILIES</b> <b>WE'RE TAUGHT NOT TO HUG,</b>
<b>NOT TO EMBRACE, NOT TO</b> <b>SHOW EMOTION,</b>
<b>AND SO I CAN RELATE TO</b> <b>WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.</b>
<b>JACK: WELL I WAS RAISED</b> <b>THAT WAY BY A FATHER THAT</b>
<b>LOVED ME, WOULD HAVE GAVE</b> <b>HIS LIFE FOR ME,</b>
<b>BUT HE NEVER HELD ME.</b>
<b>SID: SAME WITH MY FATHER.</b>
<b>JACK: AND HE SAID IF I</b> <b>CRIED,</b>
<b>MEN DON'T CRY.</b>
<b>SID: RIGHT.</b>
<b>JACK: YOU'RE A SISSY AND I</b> <b>WASN'T ALLOWED TO SHOW</b>
<b>EMOTIONS, AND I WASNíT</b> <b>ALLOWED TO SHOW FEELINGS.</b>
<b>AND GROWING UP AS A CHILD,</b> <b>OUR HOME WAS VERY PAINFUL.</b>
<b>THERE WAS A LOT OF ALCOHOL</b> <b>PROBLEMS.</b>
<b>THERE WAS A LOT OF PAIN, A</b> <b>LOT OF PHYSICAL AND</b>
<b>EMOTIONAL ABUSE, AND I</b> <b>NEVER KNEW COMFORT.</b>
<b>AND I DIDN'T REALIZE AT 44</b> <b>YEARS OLD WHEN GOD HELD ME</b>
<b>THAT THE GREATEST NEED I</b> <b>HAD AT THAT TIME IN MY</b>
<b>LIFE WAS TO KNOW COMFORT.</b>
<b>I HAD NEVER KNOWN A SAFE</b> <b>HIDING PLACE IN GOD'S</b>
<b>LOVE, THOUGH I HAD KNOWN</b> <b>GOD FOR 16 YEARS.</b>
<b>AND SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED,</b> <b>I BEGAN TO WEEP WHEN THE</b>
<b>MAN STARTED PRAYING, AND I</b> <b>DIDN'T KNOW,</b>
<b>WHY ARE YOU CRYING, JACK.</b>
<b>SID: WHAT DID HE SAY JUST</b> <b>BEFORE HE PRAYED?</b>
<b>JACK: HE SAID, "I WANT TO</b> <b>PRAY FOR THE MEN WHOSE</b>
<b>FATHERS NEVER HELD THEM AS</b> <b>LITTLE BOYS."</b>
<b>AND MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS</b> <b>MY DAD HOLDS ME ALL THE</b>
<b>TIME.</b>
<b>NOW HE DOES.</b>
<b>HE STARTED HOLDING ME AND</b> <b>HUGGING ME ABOUT FIVE</b>
<b>YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS</b> <b>70-SOMETHING YEARS OLD AND</b>
<b>HE CAME TO KNOW JESUS AS</b> <b>HIS SAVIOR.</b>
<b>BUT FOR 38 YEARS, HE NEVER</b> <b>HELD ME,</b>
<b>NEVER SAID THE WORDS TO ME</b> <b>FACE TO FACE,</b>
<b>"SON I LOVE YOU, I REALLY</b> <b>LOVE YOU."</b>
<b>AND NOW MY DAD IS SAYING</b> <b>THIS,</b>
<b>AND I THOUGHT, ALL THIS</b> <b>HEALED,</b>
<b>THERE'S NO PROBLEMS LEFT</b> <b>WITH MY DAD.</b>
<b>SID: SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE</b> <b>AN OBSERVER.</b>
<b>JACK: SO I'M GOING TO BE</b> <b>AN OBSERVER AND I'M</b>
<b>SITTING THERE, AND I'M</b> <b>LISTENING,</b>
<b>BUT THE MORE THE MAN</b> <b>STARTS PRAYING OVER THOSE</b>
<b>LITTLE BOYS THAT NEVER HAD</b> <b>A SAFE PLACE,</b>
<b>THOSE LITTLE BOYS WHOSE</b> <b>DADS WERE SO FEARFUL THAT</b>
<b>YOU COULDN'T CRAWL UP INTO</b> <b>THEIR ARMS,</b>
<b>I STARTED CRYING HARDER</b> <b>AND HARDER,</b>
<b>AND HARDER.</b>
<b>AND I FINALLY JUST LAY ON</b> <b>THE FLOOR AND JUST STARTED</b>
<b>WEEPING UNCONTROLLABLY.</b>
<b>THIS IS NOT ME AT 44.</b>
<b>I'M THE MAN, I THOUGHT MY</b> <b>HERO WAS SPOCK FROM STAR</b>
<b>TREK, NEVER SHOWED</b> <b>EMOTIONS.</b>
<b>SID: OF COURSE.</b>
<b>JACK: AND MY WIFE WAS</b> <b>MARRIED TO THIS MAN THAT</b>
<b>NEVER SHOWED EMOTIONS.</b>
<b>MY CHILDREN WAS THE</b> <b>CHILDREN OF A FATHER NEVER</b>
<b>KNEW HOW TO SHOW EMOTIONS,</b> <b>TO EXPRESS LOVE.</b>
<b>I LOVED, WOULD HAVE DIED</b> <b>FOR THEM,</b>
<b>BUT I COULDN'T EXPRESS IT.</b>
<b>AND I'VE COME TO REALIZE</b> <b>SINCE THEN MANY PEOPLE ARE</b>
<b>EMOTIONALLY HANDICAPPED</b> <b>BECAUSE THEY'VE NOT</b>
<b>RECEIVED THE RIGHT KIND OF</b> <b>LOVE.</b>
<b>I WAS LOVED, BUT I HADN'T</b> <b>RECEIVED THIS KIND OF</b>
<b>LOVE, THE KIND THAT IS</b> <b>EXPRESSED THROUGH FEELING.</b>
<b>SID: AND YOU KNOW THIS</b> <b>GENERATION WITH THE</b>
<b>COMPUTERS AND THE TV, IT'S</b> <b>SO IMPERSONAL.</b>
<b>I THINK THIS GENERATION IS</b> <b>PROBABLY EVEN WORSE THAN</b>
<b>OURS.</b>
<b>JACK: I BELIEVE SO, YES,</b> <b>BECAUSE SO MANY OF,</b>
<b>MY FATHER, SO MANY OF OUR</b> <b>FATHERS WERE WOUNDED</b>
<b>DURING THE WAR, SO WOUNDED</b> <b>DURING THE WAR YEARS THEY</b>
<b>LOST THE ABILITY TO SHARE</b> <b>EMOTIONS.</b>
<b>AND THIS WAS THE FATHER I</b> <b>GREW UP WITH,</b>
<b>THE FATHER WHO WAS A BUCK</b> <b>SERGEANT DURING THE WAR,</b>
<b>AND EMOTIONS WERE NOT WHAT</b> <b>MEN WOULD SHOW.</b>
<b>SID: SO YOU WERE KIND OF</b> <b>SHOCKED WHEN YOU STARTED</b>
<b>CRYING BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT</b> <b>THESE WERE NOT PROBLEMS.</b>
<b>JACK: I TRIED TO STOP</b> <b>CRYING.</b>
<b>I DIDN'T WANT TO CRY IN</b> <b>FRONT OF 200 PEOPLE,</b>
<b>200 MINISTERS.</b>
<b>I'M ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT</b> <b>OF ALL 200 OF THEM CRYING</b>
<b>LIKE A LITTLE BOY, LIKE A</b> <b>SEVEN,</b>
<b>EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BOY</b> <b>UNCONTROLLABLY.</b>
<b>AND THEN I WASN'T FIRST</b> <b>CRYING TEARS OF LOVE OF</b>
<b>GOD HOLDING ME.</b>
<b>I WAS CRYING THE TEARS OF</b> <b>AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY WHERE</b>
<b>ALCOHOL WAS DESTROYING HIS</b> <b>PARENT'S HOME.</b>
<b>AND THERE WOULD BE</b> <b>VIOLENCE IN THE HOME,</b>
<b>AND THERE WOULD BE ALL</b> <b>THIS RANGE AND ANGER,</b>
<b>AND THIS 18-YEAR-OLD BOY</b> <b>HAD TO HIDE SOMEWHERE.</b>
<b>AND I'D RUN AND I'D HIDE</b> <b>IN A CLOSET,</b>
<b>AND I'D GET IN A CLOSET</b> <b>AND I'D SIT IN THE CORNER,</b>
<b>AND I'LL PILE BLANKETS IN</b> <b>FRONT OF ME,</b>
<b>AND I'D GET A PILLOW, AND</b> <b>I'D HOLD THAT PILLOW</b>
<b>BECAUSE I WAS NEVER HELD</b> <b>OR EMBRACED AS A CHILD.</b>
<b>I FOUND OUT SINCE I WAS</b> <b>NEVER EVEN NURSED AS A</b>
<b>BABY, THAT I WAS GIVEN A</b> <b>BOTTLE.</b>
<b>AND I JUST DID NOT KNOW</b> <b>AFFECTIONATE LOVE.</b>
<b>THEREFORE, HOW CAN YOU</b> <b>GIVE SOMETHING AWAY TO</b>
<b>YOUR FAMILY THAT WASN'T</b> <b>GIVING TO YOU?</b>
<b>AND SO AS I'M LAYING ON</b> <b>THE FLOOR,</b>
<b>I'M THIS LITTLE</b> <b>10-YEAR-OLD BOY BACK IN</b>
<b>THE CLOSET HIDING, FULL OF</b> <b>ALL THE FEAR,</b>
<b>AND I'M CRYING</b> <b>UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE OF</b>
<b>THE FEAR THAT WAS LOCKED</b> <b>INSIDE OF THIS PAIN TANK</b>
<b>WHERE I HAD COMPACTED ALL</b> <b>THIS HURT AND PAIN AS A</b>
<b>LITTLE CHILD, AND I LOCKED</b> <b>AWAY SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND,</b>
<b>SOMEWHERE IN MY EMOTIONS,</b> <b>AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO</b>
<b>GET IT OUT.</b>
<b>I WAS WALKING WITH GOD, I</b> <b>HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH</b>
<b>GOD.</b>
<b>SID: YOU WERE A BIBLICAL</b> <b>COUNSELOR.</b>
<b>YOU WERE HELPING PEOPLE</b> <b>THAT HAD PROBLEMS LIKE</b>
<b>THIS, AND YOU'RE SAYING</b> <b>YOU WERE SO BURIED THAT</b>
<b>YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.</b>
<b>JACK: YOU CAN BE SAVED.</b>
<b>YOU CAN BE WALKING WITH</b> <b>GOD.</b>
<b>YOU COULD HAVE HAD HEALING</b> <b>AND DELIVERANCE IN YOUR</b>
<b>LIFE IN MANY AREAS OF YOUR</b> <b>LIFE.</b>
<b>BUT IF YOU STILL HAVE A</b> <b>LOVE DEFICIT,</b>
<b>IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED</b> <b>THE RIGHT KIND OF LOVE NO</b>
<b>MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HAVE</b> <b>WALKED WITH GOD,</b>
<b>IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED</b> <b>THE RIGHT KIND OF LOVE</b>
<b>YOU'LL STILL BATTLE WITH</b> <b>FEAR,</b>
<b>OPPRESSION, LONELINESS IN</b> <b>YOUR LIFE AND YOU DON'T</b>
<b>KNOW HOW TO GIVE AWAY WHAT</b> <b>HASN'T BEEN GIVEN TO YOU.</b>
<b>HOW CAN YOU GIVE LOVE TO</b> <b>SOMEONE WHEN YOU HAVEN'T</b>
<b>FELT THAT KIND OF LOVE?</b>
<b>SID: SO YOU'RE WEEPING</b> <b>UNCONTROLLABLY IN FRONT OF</b>
<b>PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T WANT</b> <b>TO SEE YOU WEEPING AND</b>
<b>THEN WHAT?</b>
<b>JACK: I'M LAYING IN THE</b> <b>CLOSET FULL OF ALL THIS</b>
<b>FEAR AND MY PARENTS NEVER</b> <b>FOUND ME THERE DURING</b>
<b>THESE VIOLENT YEARS.</b>
<b>AND THE DOOR OF THE CLOSET</b> <b>OPENED UP AND JUST FEAR</b>
<b>GRASPED ME.</b> <b>[DRAMATIC MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>MY WIFE SAID LATER, "YOU</b> <b>WERE SCREAMING SO LOUD,</b>
<b>NO ONE IN THE PLACE COULD</b> <b>UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE</b>
<b>GOING THROUGH."</b>
<b>SID: WHAT YOU SAW WAS LIKE</b> <b>A FLASHBACK SEEING</b>
<b>YOURSELF IN THIS CLOSET.</b>
<b>JACK: YES.</b>
<b>AND THEN SOMEONE WALKED</b> <b>IN.</b>
<b>I WASN'T AWARE WHO IT WAS.</b>
<b>BUT SOMEONE WALKED IN,</b> <b>PILED THE BLANKETS ASIDE,</b>
<b>SAT DOWN NEXT TO ME AND</b> <b>TOOK ME IN THEIR ARMS.</b>
<b>AND FOR 45 MINUTES THEY</b> <b>HELD ME,</b>
<b>AND I BECAME AWARE THAT IT</b> <b>WAS FATHER GOD. [SERENE MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>IT WAS THE HEART OF THE</b> <b>FATHER.</b>
<b>SID: WAIT A SECOND.</b>
<b>HE'S SAYING GOD HUGGED</b> <b>HIM.</b>
<b>I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.</b>
<b>WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER</b> <b>THIS MESSAGE.</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>WE WILL RETURN TO IT'S</b> <b>SUPERNATURAL RIGHT AFTER THIS.</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>SID: HELLO. I'M SID ROTH AND</b> <b>I'M AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER.</b>
<b>I SURE HOPE YOU WATCHED</b> <b>THE EARLIER SEGMENT.</b>
<b>JACK FROST WAS A BIBLICAL</b> <b>COUNSELOR HELPING PEOPLE</b>
<b>WITH PROBLEMS.</b>
<b>ONE DAY HE FOUND HIMSELF</b> <b>IN A MEETING WITH 200</b>
<b>OTHER PASTORS AND THIS</b> <b>SPEAKER SAID,</b>
<b>"I WANT TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE</b> <b>WHOSE FATHERS NEVER HELD</b>
<b>THEM."</b>
<b>AND HE STARTED WEEPING</b> <b>UNCONTROLLABLY.</b>
<b>HE DIDN'T WANT TO BECAUSE</b> <b>HE WAS KIND OF FRANKLY</b>
<b>EMBARRASSED OVER THIS IN</b> <b>FRONT OF PEERS ALL AROUND</b>
<b>HIM.</b>
<b>AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED, A</b> <b>FLASHBACK AS A YOUNG CHILD</b>
<b>IN A CLOSET.</b>
<b>JACK: I WAS RIGHT BACK IN</b> <b>THE CLOSET WHERE I HAD TO</b>
<b>HIDE SO OFTEN IN BECAUSE</b> <b>MY FATHER WAS AN</b>
<b>AUTHORITARIAN FATHER, A</b> <b>FATHER THAT LOVED ME,</b>
<b>BUT A FATHER THAT WOULD</b> <b>SCREAM AT ME.</b>
<b>I COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING</b> <b>RIGHT.</b>
<b>HE WAS A TENNIS COACH AND</b> <b>I ALWAYS HAD TO HIT THE</b>
<b>BALL RIGHT, AND I ALWAYS</b> <b>HAD TO CUT THE GRASS</b>
<b>RIGHT, AND HE NEVER</b> <b>POINTED OUT THE GOOD</b>
<b>THINGS I'D DO.</b>
<b>HE WOULD JUST ALWAYS</b> <b>MOTIVATE US WITH</b>
<b>SCREAMING, WITH HOLLERING.</b>
<b>HE WAS A NEGATIVE</b> <b>MOTIVATOR AND I GREW UP</b>
<b>WITH FEAR.</b>
<b>AND AS I'M IN THIS CLOSET</b> <b>ALL THIS FEAR IS CONSUMING</b>
<b>ME.</b>
<b>IT'S LIKE AS YOU SAID, A</b> <b>FLASHBACK,</b>
<b>BACK TO THIS LITTLE BOY.</b>
<b>AND FATHER GOD COMES INTO</b> <b>THAT CLOSET AND TAKES ME</b>
<b>INTO HIS ARMS AND HELD ME,</b> <b>AND FOR 45 MINUTES - </b>
<b>SID: EXCUSE ME, JACK.</b>
<b>I'M HEARING WHAT YOU'RE</b> <b>SAYING.</b>
<b>WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GOD HELD</b> <b>YOU?</b>
<b>WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?</b>
<b>SID: OH MY GOODNESS, HERE</b> <b>WE GO AGAIN!</b>
<b>JACK: GOD HELD ME AND I </b> <b>HAD SUCH A NEED OF COMFORT.</b>
<b>I HAD NEVER FELT</b> <b>COMFORTED.</b>
<b>I WAS 44 YEARS OLD AND</b> <b>CONSUMED WITH FEAR.</b>
<b>SID: ARE YOU TELLING ME</b> <b>THAT YOU FELT LIKE I JUST</b>
<b>FELT, THAT GOD DID THAT?</b>
<b>JACK: YES.</b>
<b>I COULD FEEL THE ARMS OF</b> <b>GOD AROUND ME.</b>
<b>I COULD FEEL LOVE AROUND</b> <b>ME.</b>
<b>SID: HOW DID IT FEEL?</b>
<b>JACK: IT HURT.</b>
<b>SID: WHY?</b>
<b>JACK: BECAUSE I HAD BUILT</b> <b>ALL THESE WALLS OF</b>
<b>PROTECTION TO PROTECT ME</b> <b>FROM BEING HURT AGAIN.</b>
<b>WE ALL HAVE THEM.</b>
<b>WE ALL BUILD THESE WALLS</b> <b>THAT LITTLE HURTS,</b>
<b>BIG HURTS COME AND WE</b> <b>DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE</b>
<b>LOVE BECAUSE ANY TIME LOVE</b> <b>BEGINS TO FLOW TOWARDS US</b>
<b>WE HAVE TO LOWER OUR WALLS</b> <b>BECAUSE LOVE IS SOMETHING</b>
<b>WE HAVE TO SUBMIT TO, LOVE</b> <b>IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO BE</b>
<b>WILLING TO RECEIVE.</b>
<b>AND WE'VE ALL BEEN HURT SO</b> <b>MUCH BY PEOPLE WHO SAID</b>
<b>THEY LOVED US, WE'VE GOT</b> <b>WALLS UP AND WE WON'T</b>
<b>SUBMIT TO IT, WE WON'T</b> <b>RECEIVE IT.</b>
<b>AND SO THE WALLS ARE</b> <b>FILLED WITH FEAR OF</b>
<b>FAILURE, FEAR OF</b> <b>REJECTION,</b>
<b>FEAR OF INTIMACY, FEAR OF</b> <b>LOVING,</b>
<b>FEAR OF BEING LOVED.</b>
<b>AND AS FATHER TOOK ME IN</b> <b>HIS ARMS IT WAS LIKE HE</b>
<b>WAS REACHING HIS HAND</b> <b>INSIDE OF MY HEART AND HE</b>
<b>WAS PULLING OUT FEAR OF</b> <b>REJECTION.</b>
<b>AND I WOULD CRY HARDER,</b> <b>AND I'D ACTUALLY GROAN AND</b>
<b>SCREAM, AND THE WHOLE TIME</b> <b>I'M AWARE THAT 200 PEOPLE</b>
<b>ARE LOOKING AT ME AND I AM</b> <b>EMBARRASSED.</b>
<b>SID: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST</b> <b>STOP?</b>
<b>JACK: HERE'S WHAT GOD</b> <b>SAID.</b>
<b>NOBODY KNOWS YOU HERE, SO</b> <b>JUST FORGET ABOUT WHAT</b>
<b>THEY THINK.</b>
<b>THEY'LL NEVER SEE YOU</b> <b>AGAIN.</b>
<b>AND SO I JUST LAID IN</b> <b>GOD'S ARMS.</b>
<b>FIRST TIME I HAD EVER FELT</b> <b>THE ARMS OF A LOVING</b>
<b>FATHER.</b>
<b>FIRST TIME I HAD EVER FELT</b> <b>SAFE.</b>
<b>AND THEN HE TOOK THE FEAR</b> <b>OF REJECTION OR THE FEAR</b>
<b>OF FAILURE, THE FEAR OF</b> <b>INTIMACY,</b>
<b>THE FEAR OF LOVING, THE</b> <b>FEAR OF RECEIVING MY</b>
<b>WIFE'S LOVE, THE FEAR OF</b> <b>GIVING HER LOVE,</b>
<b>THE FEAR OF HAVING</b> <b>INTIMACY WITH MY CHILDREN.</b>
<b>I HAD NEVER HAD INTIMACY</b> <b>WITH MY OWN CHILDREN.</b>
<b>I HAD BEEN A MILITARY TYPE</b> <b>FATHER,</b>
<b>AUTHORITARIAN TYPE FATHER.</b>
<b>I WAS THE BIBLICAL</b> <b>COUNSELOR.</b>
<b>I TAUGHT FAMILY SEMINARS.</b>
<b>I HAD BEEN A PASTOR.</b>
<b>I COULD SAY ALL AND DO ALL</b> <b>THIS.</b>
<b>SID: BUT IT WASN'T</b> <b>HAPPENING IN YOUR OWN HOME</b>
<b>AND YOU KNEW IT.</b>
<b>SO WHY, DIDN'T YOU FEEL</b> <b>LIKE A PHONY?</b>
<b>JACK: YES, YOU FELT LIKE A</b> <b>PHONY,</b>
<b>BUT YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR</b> <b>IDENTITY.</b>
<b>YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR</b> <b>WALLS OF FEAR UP.</b>
<b>YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR</b> <b>DIGNITY.</b>
<b>SID: WHAT WAS YOUR</b> <b>IDENTITY?</b>
<b>JACK: MY IDENTITY WAS IN</b> <b>SUCCESS IN MINISTRY?</b>
<b>SID: WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY</b> <b>NOW?</b>
<b>JACK: IN BEING A DAD AND</b> <b>BEING A HUSBAND.</b>
<b>SID: SOMETHING WONDERFUL,</b> <b>SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL.</b>
<b>I'M GOING TO TELL YOU</b> <b>SOMETHING,</b>
<b>IT'S GOING TO BRING TEARS</b> <b>TO YOUR EYES.</b>
<b>SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL</b> <b>HAPPENED TO THIS FATHER</b>
<b>AND HIS DAUGHTER AFTER</b> <b>THIS.</b>
<b>TELL ME ABOUT IT.</b>
<b>JACK: I CAME HOME OFF OF</b> <b>THAT CONFERENCE AND AT</b>
<b>THAT POINT MY DAUGHTER WAS</b> <b>14 YEARS OLD,</b>
<b>MY SECOND CHILD.</b>
<b>SHE WAS IN COMPLETE</b> <b>REBELLION AGAINST ME.</b>
<b>ONE GREAT WRITER SAID,</b> <b>"RULES WITHOUT</b>
<b>RELATIONSHIP BREED</b> <b>REBELLION."</b>
<b>THAT WAS DAUGHTER.</b>
<b>I HAD MY HOUSEHOLD FULL OF</b> <b>RULES,</b>
<b>BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO</b> <b>HAVE RELATIONSHIP.</b>
<b>I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN</b> <b>MY HEART TO MY CHILDREN.</b>
<b>THOUGH I COULD DO ALL THE</b> <b>RIGHT THINGS,</b>
<b>I COULD SAY THE RIGHT</b> <b>THINGS,</b>
<b>BUT IT WAS OF THE LAW, IT</b> <b>WASN'T OF LOVE.</b>
<b>AND LAW WILL KILL WHERE</b> <b>LOVE SETS PEOPLE FREE AND</b>
<b>BRINGS HEALING.</b>
<b>AND SO I CAME HOME AND MY</b> <b>DAUGHTER HAD BEEN</b>
<b>HARDENED.</b>
<b>SHE WAS TURNING TOWARDS A</b> <b>REBELLIOUS CROWD.</b>
<b>SHE COULD CUSS LIKE A</b> <b>SAILOR.</b>
<b>SHE WAS HANGING AROUND</b> <b>WITH THE WILDEST OF</b>
<b>PEOPLE.</b>
<b>SHE'D GO TO HER ROOM AND</b> <b>SIT IN HER ROOM,</b>
<b>AND NEVER COME OUT AND</b> <b>TALK TO US.</b>
<b>SID: YOU WERE OUT DOING</b> <b>FAMILY SEMINARS AND THIS</b>
<b>IS WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT</b> <b>NOBODY KNOWS BUT YOU.</b>
<b>JACK: LIKE A CARPENTER.</b>
<b>A CARPENTER IS GREAT AT</b> <b>FIXING OTHER PEOPLE'S</b>
<b>HOMES, BUT LEAVES HIS IN</b> <b>SHAMBLES.</b>
<b>SO MANY MINISTRIES, THAT</b> <b>SAME WAY.</b>
<b>SO I WENT HOME AND MY HOLD</b> <b>COUNTENANCE HAD CHANGED.</b>
<b>MY TONE OF VOICE HAD</b> <b>CHANGED.</b>
<b>FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY</b> <b>LIFE I HAD REALLY</b>
<b>EXPERIENCED WHAT I WAS</b> <b>CREATED FOR.</b>
<b>I WAS CREATED, EVERY</b> <b>SINGLE PERSON EVER BORN IS</b>
<b>CREATED FOR ONE THING, TO</b> <b>EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND</b>
<b>TO GIVE IT AWAY.</b>
<b>AND YOU REALIZE TO DO</b> <b>ANYTHING SHORT OF DOING</b>
<b>WHAT WE WERE CREATED FOR</b> <b>IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF</b>
<b>NATURE.</b>
<b>IT IS TWISTED, IT IS</b> <b>PERVERTED FOR ANY OF US TO</b>
<b>DO ANYTHING BESIDES</b> <b>RECEIVING LOVE AND GIVING</b>
<b>IT AWAY, RECEIVING LOVE,</b> <b>BUT I NEVER KNEW HOW.</b>
<b>MY LIFE WAS TWISTED, MY</b> <b>FAMILY WAS TWISTED,</b>
<b>MY RELATIONSHIPS WERE</b> <b>TWISTED,</b>
<b>AND MY OWN DAUGHTER</b> <b>REBELLING AGAINST ME.</b>
<b>AND I CAME HOME SO SOFT.</b>
<b>IN FACT, FOR FOUR MONTHS I</b> <b>CRIED EVERY DAY,</b>
<b>AND I WOULD CRY, AND I</b> <b>WOULD CRY.</b>
<b>AND MY DAUGHTER WOULD</b> <b>COME,</b>
<b>"WHY ARE YOU CRYING?"</b>
<b>"BECAUSE OF WHAT I'VE DONE</b> <b>TO YOU,</b>
<b>BECAUSE HOW BAD I'VE HURT</b> <b>YOU."</b>
<b>AND SHE'D RUN OFF INTO HER</b> <b>ROOM,</b>
<b>ALL THE WALLS GOING UP</b> <b>BECAUSE FOR HER TO RECEIVE</b>
<b>MY LOVE, DO YOU REALIZE</b> <b>YOU CAN LIVE IN A HOME</b>
<b>WITH A FATHER WHO LOVES</b> <b>YOU AND NEVER RECEIVE HIS</b>
<b>LOVE.</b>
<b>SID: SO SHE HAD WALLS JUST</b> <b>LIKE.</b>
<b>JACK: SHE HAD BECOME JUST</b> <b>LIKE ME.</b>
<b>AND SHE WAS THE MOST</b> <b>UNLIKEABLE PERSON ON</b>
<b>EARTH, AND I REALIZED</b> <b>SHE'S JUST LIKE ME.</b>
<b>AND THE TORTURE I PUT HER</b> <b>THROUGH.</b>
<b>AND SLOWLY HER HEART</b> <b>STARTED MELTING,</b>
<b>BECAUSE WHAT LOVE IS LIKE,</b> <b>LOVE IS LIKE THE SUN</b>
<b>SHINING DOWN UP A BLOCK OF</b> <b>ICE.</b>
<b>IT BEGINS TO MELT.</b>
<b>AND HER HEART STARTING</b> <b>MELTING MORE AND MORE,</b>
<b>AND MORE.</b>
<b>AND THEN IN APRIL OF '96,</b> <b>FOUR MONTHS LATER,</b>
<b>SHE CAME UP AND SAID,</b> <b>"DADDY,</b>
<b>I'VE GOT AN ENGLISH PAPER</b> <b>I WANT TO TURN IN AND I</b>
<b>WANT YOU TO READ IT FIRST</b> <b>BEFORE I TURN IT IN."</b>
<b>AND HER HEART IS SOFT</b> <b>TOWARDS ME,</b>
<b>AND SHE WENT FROM CUSSING</b> <b>LIKE A SAILOR,</b>
<b>HARD, NOT WANTING TO SPEAK</b> <b>TO ME,</b>
<b>ONE WORD ANSWERS, YES, NO,</b> <b>AND SHE WRITES THIS,</b>
<b>AND SHE SAID THAT THE</b> <b>ENGLISH PAPER,</b>
<b>EVERYONE IN HER CLASS WAS</b> <b>TO WRITE THIS PAPER</b>
<b>ENTITLED, "THE GREATEST</b> <b>INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE IS",</b>
<b>THREE PARAGRAPHS.</b>
<b>AND SHE WRITES THIS: "THE</b> <b>GREATEST INFLUENCE IN MY</b>
<b>LIFE IS MY DADDY.</b>
<b>THROUGH HIM I'VE SEEN THE</b> <b>EYES OF JESUS AND FELT HIS</b>
<b>UNENDING LOVE.</b>
<b>ONE POINT NOT VERY LONG</b> <b>AGO MY DADDY WAS A MAN TO</b>
<b>FEAR.</b>
<b>HE WAS A CAPTAIN BLY OFF</b> <b>THE HMS BOUNTY.</b>
<b>NOW HE'S AS GENTLE AS A</b> <b>LAMB AND NOT TO MENTION</b>
<b>JUST AS LOVING.</b>
<b>THROUGH WATCHING MY DADDY</b> <b>CHANGE FROM BEING A HARD</b>
<b>MAN TO BEING A TENDER MAN</b> <b>IT HAS INFLUENCED ME TO</b>
<b>CHANGE.</b>
<b>HIS NEW PATIENCE HAS</b> <b>HELPED BRING ME THROUGH A</b>
<b>VERY DIFFICULT YEAR.</b>
<b>SEEING MY FATHER LOVE AND</b> <b>CHERISH GOD LIKE NEVER</b>
<b>BEFORE HAS DONE MIRACLES</b> <b>OVER ME.</b>
<b>INSTEAD OF REFERRING TO</b> <b>GOD LIKE A HOLY BEING,</b>
<b>MY DAD NOW REFERS TO HIM</b> <b>AS HIS DADDY.</b>
<b>NOW INSTEAD OF FEARING MY</b> <b>DAD,</b>
<b>I CRAWL UP IN HIS LAP AND</b> <b>I FIND A VERY CHERISHED</b>
<b>PIECE.</b>
<b>WHAT I CHERISH MOST ABOUT</b> <b>MY FATHER IS HIS SMILE.</b>
<b>I ALSO LOVE THE WAY HE</b> <b>SITS WITH ME AND HELPS ME</b>
<b>WITH MY FAULTS IN A LOVING</b> <b>WAY.</b>
<b>WHENEVER I DO SOMETHING</b> <b>GOOD HE NOTICES THAT,</b>
<b>TOO.</b>
<b>MY DAD IS CHANGING IN SO</b> <b>MANY AREAS.</b>
<b>I AM SO VERY PROUD OF HIM.</b>
<b>EVERY TIME HE LOOKS AT ME</b> <b>AND SMILES I EXPLODE</b>
<b>INSIDE WITH JOY.</b>
<b>MY DADDY HAS BEEN MY</b> <b>GREATEST INFLUENCE THESE</b>
<b>PAST FOUR MONTHS.</b>
<b>I FORGIVE HIM FOR BEING</b> <b>CAPTAIN BLY IN MY EARLY</b>
<b>YEARS.</b>
<b>I LOVE MY DADDY."</b>
<b>SID: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO</b> <b>HAVE A DAUGHTER WRITE A</b>
<b>LETTER LIKE THAT TO YOU?</b>
<b>HOW WOULD LIKE YOUR WIFE</b> <b>TO SAY,</b>
<b>I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED</b> <b>SUCH LOVE.</b>
<b>I'M GOING TO HAVE JACK</b> <b>FROST PRAY FOR YOU,</b>
<b>THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE</b> <b>GOD'S LOVE TO SUCH A</b>
<b>POWERFUL WAY THAT YOU WILL</b> <b>BE ABLE TO GIVE IT TO</b>
<b>OTHERS.</b>
<b>WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER</b> <b>THIS.</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH</b> <b>MORE OF IT'S SUPERNATURAL</b>
<b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>SID: DO YOU HAVE THE</b> <b>ABILITY TO RECEIVE LOVE,</b>
<b>I MEAN REALLY?</b>
<b>DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO</b> <b>GIVE LOVE?</b>
<b>JACK FROST WAS EMBRACED BY</b> <b>GOD THE FATHER FOR 45</b>
<b>MINUTES, TRANSFORMED HIS</b> <b>LIFE.</b>
<b>JACK, YOU WROTE A LETTER,</b> <b>WE JUST HEARD THE LETTER</b>
<b>THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM</b> <b>YOUR DAUGHTER,</b>
<b>WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL</b> <b>LETTER.</b>
<b>WHAT DID THAT MEAN TO YOU,</b> <b>GETTING A LETTER LIKE</b>
<b>THAT?</b>
<b>JACK: I JUST WEPT AND WEPT</b> <b>BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS A</b>
<b>TURNING POINT IN OUR</b> <b>RELATIONSHIP.</b>
<b>AND IN THE PAST THREE</b> <b>YEARS SINCE THAT HAS</b>
<b>HAPPENED MY DAUGHTER HAS</b> <b>GROWN,</b>
<b>SO, IN FACT, SHE JUST DID</b> <b>AN ENGLISH PAPER FOR HER</b>
<b>ENGLISH CLASS AGAIN AND IN</b> <b>THAT THEY WERE ASKED,</b>
<b>WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR</b> <b>LIFE,</b>
<b>HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE</b> <b>TO IMPACT THE WORLD?</b>
<b>AND SHE SAYS, "I WANT TO</b> <b>SPEND MY LIFE GOING TO</b>
<b>EVERY NATION OF THE WORLD</b> <b>AND GIVING THE LOVE THAT</b>
<b>I'VE EXPERIENCED FROM MY</b> <b>DAD AND FROM FATHER GOD,</b>
<b>TO GIVING THAT LOVE AWAY</b> <b>TO EVERY PERSON I MEET IN</b>
<b>THE WORLD."</b>
<b>SID: YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN</b> <b>TOLD THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP</b>
<b>WITH OUR NATURAL FATHERS</b> <b>SOMEHOW DIRECTLY TIES IN</b>
<b>WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH</b> <b>GOD THE FATHER.</b>
<b>JACK: WE SEE FATHER GOD</b> <b>THROUGH THE LENS OF OUR</b>
<b>EARTHLY FATHER'S EYES.</b>
<b>AND IF OUR EARTHLY FATHER</b> <b>DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS</b>
<b>LOVE, IF HE WAS A DISTANT</b> <b>AND FAR OFF,</b>
<b>OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD</b> <b>IS THAT WAY.</b>
<b>WE SEE HIM AS, OH I KNOW</b> <b>GOD LOVES ME,</b>
<b>FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO,</b> <b>BUT HE'S DISTANT AND HE'S</b>
<b>AFAR OFF.</b>
<b>HE'LL GIVE THAT LOVE TO</b> <b>OTHERS,</b>
<b>BUT HE'LL NOT REALLY DO IT</b> <b>FOR ME.</b>
<b>AND WE FEEL LIKE HE'S AFAR</b> <b>OFF FROM US AND NOT CLOSE</b>
<b>TO US.</b>
<b>SID: NOW YOUR FAMILY</b> <b>AFFECTIONATELY CALLED YOU</b>
<b>CAPTAIN BLY BECAUSE YOU</b> <b>WERE OBVIOUSLY A PRETTY</b>
<b>MOODY GUY.</b>
<b>BUT RECENTLY YOU WROTE A</b> <b>LETTER TO YOUR WIFE.</b>
<b>WOULD YOU READ THAT?</b>
<b>JACK: I WAS KNOWN AS</b> <b>CAPTAIN BLY FOR YEARS,</b>
<b>AT SEA, BECAUSE I WAS SO</b> <b>HARSH.</b>
<b>AND NOW I LIVE TO KNOW</b> <b>GOD'S LOVE AND TO GIVE IT</b>
<b>AWAY.</b>
<b>AND I WAS COMING HOME FROM</b> <b>SLOVAKIA IN AUGUST,</b>
<b>AND I HAD NEVER WRITTEN A</b> <b>POEM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT</b>
<b>TO MY WIFE.</b>
<b>AND I WAS ON THE FLIGHT</b> <b>OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN,</b>
<b>AND I JUST STARTED WRITING</b> <b>THIS,</b>
<b>AND IT JUST FLOWED RIGHT</b> <b>OUT.</b>
<b>AND THIS IS A SONG OF LOVE</b> <b>FOR MY WIFE,</b>
<b>AFTER 23 YEARS OF MARRIAGE</b> <b>AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO</b>
<b>EXPRESS LOVE, I WRITE THIS</b> <b>TO HER: "OUR JOURNEY HAS</b> <b>[SERENE MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>TAKEN US THROUGHOUT THE</b> <b>EARTH FROM PAIN AND</b>
<b>SUFFERING OUR LOVE DID</b> <b>BIRTH.</b>
<b>YET LOVE DID FLOURISH FROM</b> <b>THE SHAME AND TEARS,</b>
<b>OUR LOVE REMAINED TRUE ALL</b> <b>THROUGH THE YEARS.</b>
<b>WHAT PAIN CAN HOLD BACK</b> <b>SUCH A LOVE AS OURS,</b>
<b>NOT SHAME, NOT FEAR, NOT</b> <b>EVEN WOUNDED HEARTS.</b>
<b>FOR OUR LOVE HAS CONQUERED</b> <b>EVERY WALL.</b>
<b>IT HAS FOUGHT AND GRASPED</b> <b>FOR PASSION'S CALL.</b>
<b>IT WAS YOUR LOVE THAT</b> <b>BROUGHT ME TO A REST,</b>
<b>A LOVE THAT MY PAIN HAS</b> <b>PUT TO THE TEST.</b>
<b>YET YOU ENDURED AND GAVE</b> <b>OF YOUR BEST.</b>
<b>TODAY IT'S THE REASON I</b> <b>FEEL SO BLESSED.</b>
<b>WHAT KIND OF WOMAN COULD</b> <b>LOVE AS YOU DO,</b>
<b>ONE WHO IS BEAUTIFUL,</b> <b>FAITHFUL AND TRUE.</b>
<b>IT TAKES ONE WHOSE HEART</b> <b>IS MADE OF PURE GOLD,</b>
<b>ONE WHOSE LIFE WILL BE AS</b> <b>A TALE THAT IS TOLD.</b>
<b>YOUR LOVE WILL BE SPOKEN</b> <b>FOR AGES TO COME,</b>
<b>FOR IT IS THE KIND WHICH</b> <b>LIGHTS UP THE SUN.</b>
<b>IT'S FULL OF FIRE, PASSION</b> <b>AND ZEAL,</b>
<b>A LOVE THAT IS NOT FAULTS,</b> <b>BUT OPEN AND HEALS.</b>
<b>YOUR LOVE FILLS MY HEART</b> <b>WITH VISIONS AND DREAMS,</b>
<b>FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE, MY</b> <b>HEART HAS HEART HAS</b>
<b>FINALLY SEEN.</b>
<b>YOUR LOVE HAS GIVEN ME</b> <b>REASON TO LIVE.</b>
<b>YOUR LOVE HAS CAUSED MY</b> <b>HEART TO WANT TO GIVE.</b>
<b>HOW COULD YOUR LOVE BE SO</b> <b>RICH AND FREE,</b>
<b>HOW COULD YOU LOVE SUCH A</b> <b>MAN AS ME?</b>
<b>HOW COULD YOUR HEART BE</b> <b>FILLED WITH SUCH DESIRE,</b>
<b>HOW COULD YOU CAUSE ME TO</b> <b>BURN WITH SUCH FIRE?</b>
<b>CERTAINLY YOUR LOVE MUST</b> <b>COME FROM ABOVE.</b>
<b>HOW ELSE COULD YOU KNOW</b> <b>SUCH A WONDROUS LOVE.</b>
<b>I LONG TO RETURN THAT LOVE</b> <b>TO YOU ONE DAY WITH SUCH</b>
<b>DESIRE AND SACRIFICE MAY I</b> <b>LOVE THAT GREAT.</b>
<b>O GOD I COULD NEVER REPAY</b> <b>WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME</b>
<b>WHEN YOU GAVE ME HER TO</b> <b>LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL,</b>
<b>SO FREE.</b>
<b>FORGIVE ME FOR ALL THE</b> <b>YEARS THAT I DID BLAME AS</b>
<b>AN EXCUSE NOT TO LOVE</b> <b>BECAUSE OF MY PAIN.</b>
<b>UNMERITED FAVOR I RECEIVED</b> <b>WHEN I FIRST SAW HER FACE,</b>
<b>YOUR LOVE THROUGH HER HAS</b> <b>REVEALED TO ME GRACE.</b>
<b>NOW I AM HONORED TO CALL</b> <b>HER MY WIFE.</b>
<b>I WILL CHERISH AND CARE</b> <b>FOR HER ALL OF MY LIFE.</b>
<b>I WOULD GO THROUGH THE</b> <b>PAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN TO</b>
<b>EXPERIENCE HER LOVE THAT</b> <b>COVERED HER SHAME.</b>
<b>I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE, MY</b> <b>WEALTH AND MY FAME TO LOVE</b>
<b>HER AND CHERISH HER, AND</b> <b>GIVE HER MY NAME."</b>
<b>SID: WHAT HAPPENED WHEN</b> <b>YOU GAVE HER THAT POEM?</b>
<b>JACK: I CAME HOME FROM 12</b> <b>DAYS AWAY,</b>
<b>AND IT WAS 11:00 AT NIGHT</b> <b>WHEN I CAME IN FROM THE</b>
<b>AIRPORT, AND I HAD NEVER</b> <b>BEEN ABLE TO REALLY LOOK</b>
<b>AT HER AND EXPRESS THE</b> <b>DEPTH OF LOVE.</b>
<b>AND I LOOKED HER IN THE</b> <b>EYES AND BEGIN TO READ</b>
<b>THIS TO HER.</b>
<b>AND SHE BEGAN TO TREMBLE</b> <b>AND HELD IT ALL BACK UNTIL</b>
<b>I GOT TO THE LAST PHRASE,</b> <b>AND THEN IT JUST EXPLODED,</b>
<b>JUST GROANS AND WAILING</b> <b>EXPLODED OUT OF HER</b>
<b>BECAUSE I HURT HER SO BAD</b> <b>FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER</b>
<b>KNOWING HOW TO EXPRESS</b> <b>LOVE.</b>
<b>I LOVED HER, BUT IF A</b> <b>PERSON DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO</b>
<b>RECEIVE THAT LOVE, IF THEY</b> <b>CAN'T RECEIVE IT THEY</b>
<b>DON'T FEEL THAT LOVE.</b>
<b>AND SHE SAID IT WAS LIKE</b> <b>23 YEARS OF PAIN WAS</b>
<b>HEALED IN THAT MOMENT WHEN</b> <b>I BEGAN TO READ THIS TO</b>
<b>HER.</b>
<b>SID: JACK, THERE ARE SO</b> <b>MANY HURTING PEOPLE</b>
<b>WATCHING US, PEOPLE WHOSE</b> <b>MARRIAGES ARE ABOUT READY</b>
<b>TO DISSOLVE, PEOPLE THAT</b> <b>SAY,</b>
<b>HE'S TOUCHING HER.</b>
<b>WILL YOU PRAY FOR EVERY</b> <b>PERSON TO BE FREE TO LOVE,</b>
<b>FREE TO RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE</b> <b>NOW.</b>
<b>JACK: JESUS SAID THESE</b> <b>WORDS IN JOHN 16,</b>
<b>HE SAID THAT, "THE FATHER</b> <b>LOVES YOU BECAUSE YOU LOVE</b>
<b>JESUS."</b>
<b>YOU SEE, THE WHOLE KEY OF</b> <b>ENTERING IN THE FATHER'S</b>
<b>LOVE IS NOT BEING GOOD</b> <b>ENOUGH,</b>
<b>IS NOT PRAYING ENOUGH, NOT</b> <b>READING THE BIBLE ENOUGH.</b>
<b>IT'S ACCEPTING JESUS AND</b> <b>ACCEPTING THE FATHER'S</b>
<b>LOVE THROUGH THE COMPLETED</b> <b>WORK OF JESUS CHRIST.</b>
<b>AND RIGHT NOW I WANT TO</b> <b>PRAY WITH YOU RIGHT WHERE</b>
<b>YOU'RE SITTING WATCHING</b> <b>THIS TV.</b>
<b>IF YOU'VE NOT ACCEPTED</b> <b>JESUS CHRIST RIGHT NOW</b>
<b>LET'S JUST PRAY WITH ME</b> <b>THIS PRAYER.</b>
<b>JUST SAY, LORD JESUS, I'VE</b> <b>BEEN LOOKING MY ENTIRE</b>
<b>LIFE FOR THIS TYPE OF LOVE</b> <b>THAT THIS MAN HAS BEEN</b>
<b>TALKING ABOUT, AND I'VE</b> <b>NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT.</b>
<b>AND I KNOW THAT MY WHOLE</b> <b>LIFE I HAVE MISREPRESENTED</b>
<b>FATHER'S LOVE TO OTHERS,</b> <b>AND JESUS FORGIVE ME,</b>
<b>FORGIVE ME FOR NOT KNOWING</b> <b>HOW TO GIVE THE LOVE AWAY</b>
<b>THAT I'VE NEVER RECEIVED.</b>
<b>AND I INVITE YOU RIGHT NOW</b> <b>JESUS INTO MY LIFE.</b>
<b>I INVITE YOU AS MY SAVIOR</b> <b>AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD</b>
<b>TAKE ME TO THE FATHER AND</b> <b>YOU'D REVEAL THE FATHER'S</b>
<b>LOVE.</b>
<b>AND SO RIGHT NOW ALL OVER</b> <b>THERE'S PEOPLE,</b>
<b>FATHER, WITH HEADS BOWED</b> <b>THAT ARE CRYING OUT,</b>
<b>I NEED TO KNOW THE TYPE OF</b> <b>LOVE.</b>
<b>SUPERNATURALLY JUST GO</b> <b>THROUGHOUT ALL THE EARTH</b>
<b>AND BEGIN TO POUR YOUR</b> <b>LOVE TO THEM,</b>
<b>FATHER.</b>
<b>FATHER, YOU LOVE THEM</b> <b>BECAUSE THEY LOVED JESUS,</b>
<b>NOT BECAUSE THEY HAD DONE</b> <b>ANYTHING RIGHT.</b>
<b>AMEN.</b>
<b>SID: IF YOU'VE SAID THAT</b> <b>PRAYER I WANT TO URGE YOU</b>
<b>TO DO THE FOLLOWING.</b>
<b>I BELIEVE THAT IT IS,</b> <b>THERE'S A HEBREW WORD,</b>
<b>IT'S "BASHERT", IT'S MEANT</b> <b>TO BE.</b>
<b>IT WAS MEANT TO BE THAT</b> <b>YOU WOULD HEAR THIS</b>
<b>DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW.</b>
<b>YOU SEE, CONTRARY TO WHAT</b> <b>YOU'VE BEEN TOLD,</b>
<b>YOU ARE SPECIAL.</b> <b>[MUSIC♪]</b>
<b>JACK: YES.</b>
<b>SID: YOU.DO HAVE MEANING.</b>
<b>JACK: YES.</b>
<b>SID: YOU DO HAVE</b> <b>IMPORTANCE.</b>
<b>YOU WERE CREATED TO LOVE</b> <b>GOD AND TO RECEIVE HIS</b>
<b>LOVE, AND TO SHARE HIS</b> <b>LOVE WITH OTHER PEOPLE.</b>
<b>I WANT YOU EVEN AS WE GO</b> <b>OFF THE AIR TO JUST LIFT</b>
<b>YOUR HANDS UP TO GOD AS A</b> <b>FORM OF A SACRIFICE.</b>
<b>SAY, I LOVE YOU GOD.</b>
<b>O THANK YOU THAT JESUS</b> <b>DIED FOR MY SINS.</b>
<b>O I NEED TO RECEIVE YOUR</b> <b>LOVE.</b>
<b>I'M OPENING MYSELF AS BEST</b> <b>I KNOW.</b>
<b>I'M DOING EVERYTHING I</b> <b>KNOW.</b>
<b>O GOD, BECOME REAL, O GOD,</b> <b>FILL ME WITH YOUR LOVE,</b>
<b>O GOD, I'M DESPERATE FOR</b> <b>YOU,</b>
<b>O GOD, I NEED YOU.</b>
