Listener blog: Redeemed

Redeemed how I love to proclaim it!

Redeemed by the blood of The Lamb;

Redeemed through His infinite mercy,

His child and forever I am.  (!!!!!)

Redeemed, redeemed,

Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed, redeemed,

His child and forever I am.    (!!!!)

A couple of years ago at a ladies luncheon I met a gal who makes jewelry out of broken liquor bottles. She had moved to a bad area in her town, and there were broken bottles everywhere.  She had worked in textiles, and thought
Alcohol caused a lot of grief in my life, and it amazes me how my Heavenly Father, Papa, can take the things that seem useless, even harmful, and turn them into something beautiful!  He takes my broken life, dreams, hopes, and turns them into things of beauty.  Like the special order pieces, He has a plan and is working it, even when I can’t see.  I did not see my friend Jackie make the jewelry, but I trusted that what I wanted she would produce!she would try something new.  ‘Viola!!  The teardrop piece was the first I purchased, the cobalt blue I special ordered.

Oh, Papa, thank you that you give folks like Jackie the talent to make beauty out of rubbish, so we can have a picture of what you are doing in us!!!  Thank You, that you will continue to work on us until you send Jesus for us.  Love you, Papa!! amen
