That word brings a real sense of peace to my heart. I guess it’s because I can honestly relate to the meaning. And it’s really not about understanding what it means, as much as it is about me being grateful that I was chosen to be saved. The stray sheep of the flock had wandered off, getting lost in the hunt for excitement. Always curious, I traveled into a realm of life that quickly overwhelmed my naive mind. And just like that – I had taken the bait the enemy laid out to trap me. Before I could even realize what was happening, I was snatched into bondage. Enslaved with no real idea of how to out.
” But God.” He saw me struggling to find my way through the cluttered mess I had made of my life. It was the loving Grace that came to find me. That never-ending faithfulness that traveled into the darkest pits to seek me out and save me. Because of the promise that was made, I have been redeemed.
