I know many of you have experienced pain in some way shape of form. God speaks to pain. Keep reading!!!!

Pain is Real

 In the beginning, God created the world perfect. He made all, and He said that it was good. But man fell short. The lust of Eve's eye led her astray. The serpent's voice was loud twisting the truth of God. As a result, man fell. Death entered the world. Ever since that moment, ALL creation moans and longs for creation to be redeemed. I could only imagine the hurt and breaking of God's heart in the midst of this pain as he watched His perfect creation wither and fade. God could have left us mankind in this disaster with no hope. He could have wiped out all creation and started over. But in his ALL KNOWING wisdom, He did not. Instead, He chose to shed His mercy, He sent His only Son Jesus. He gave Jesus as a gift to the world. Again, God watched HIS only Son be beaten, scorned, and rejected by the very creatures He created. Satan thought he won in the death of Christ. But Christ rose 3 days later. His Suffering became glory. Believers of Christ will one day taste full redemption. There is GLORY awaiting. Suffering will be redeemed!!!!! This life is painful. It is full of heartache and disappointment. Pain is REAL, and so is JESUS!  Jesus Christ is truly the only HOPE left when evil is so prominent in this broken world. Come Lord Jesus....Come!

A thought


Many kingdoms we build. Empty dreams we chase.
Selfishness leads us to pits of despair.
We have nothing to offer a Sovereign God but wretched, helpless souls.
Our hearts are deceitful and our flesh is weak. Savior, Savior. Who can save us from ourselves?

Fake masks we wear to impress multiple audiences,
Forgetting You, one true God, who created me for Yourself!
You are perfect, holy, and just. You long to be gracious and rise to show compassion.

Hallelujah! This is love that You, Oh Lord, first loved us. You knows our inner
beings, filth, and shame, but yet Your love remains the same.
Jesus, you are the good shepherd who knows your
sheep. Thank you, that as your children we are sealed with a Spirit divine. To grace and mercy, your children are debtors.

The Beginning

Well, I decided to create a blog. I love to write especially things concerning my Savior, so what better way to express thoughts then to write them. I hope this blog will encourage many to keep fighting the good fight of faith.

About the title: Ransomed. Well, as followers of Jesus Christ, we are ransomed. We were once enslaved as a prison to sin. But the precious blood of Christ (2 Cor. 5.21) covers sinners. His blood paid our ransom. God has taken me on a sweet journey as I continue to walk with him, and I hope to share with many what it is to be ransomed. God loves His children so much, that in his mercy and grace, he ransomed us to glory. AMEN!!!!
