What does it mean to be redeemed.. It means I have purpose.. I have power on my side.. I am not just aimlessly walking through life with no direction or path.. I am new.. I am a child of God.. I could never say what that word means to me.. all I know is that I want more for myself and the people I come in contact with everyday.. because I have been redeemed.. I am apart of a family.. I great and vast family.. I know that I will one day see Jesus and fall down at his feet and I know I will cry.. because I have been redeemed!
If I had never known such love and acceptance I do not think I would be much of anything.. my drive.. my ambitions in life spring forth from my relationship with God... so to have never known God's redemptive power I think I would be absolutely no where..
