My Redeemer Lives!

Today I sit in awe, of a God who truly can do anything. He is a God of amazing love. He is a God who is patient and kind and gentle. Yes, He is just, but He is merciful all the same. Jesus, You are the Redeemer! You have redeemed my life. I am not worthy. In my own strength, in my own flesh, I can screw things up so BIG! But God You are ever faithful, even when I am not! Thank you Jesus.

Just thirteen short years ago I was an unwed pregant college dropout. I knew God, and yet I had backed away from His ways. I never stopped talking to Him, but I had stopped obeying Him. And yet , He never stopped loving me.

In my selfish sin, my God gave me a blessing that I most definitely did not deserve. Sure it wasn't easy, and boy was it humbling! But God's word says children are a blessing, and His word does not return void. God gave me a precious daughter, quite purposefully with a strong will all of her own, to teach me lessons every day.

God used my baby girl Jonni to get my attention, and quite possibly to save my life from going down a further road of destruction! I knew enough then to know that I could not do it without Him any longer, and He has so graciously drew me back in. The road may have been tough some days(or years), but He has never left me nor forsaken me, ever. He has provided, He has guided. He has disciplined, and He has encouraged. My God's fingerprints are all over the place! I have been forgiven SO much, and I will forever Love Him! My life is His!

I know my Redeemer lives! Let the redeemed say so! Look for those fingerprints in your life!


Psalm 107 :1-2, 6, 8-9

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.

Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
