RANSOMED

The steel cage tears at your skin
You stand helpless against the cold, dark night But you remember the days of the faint summer breeze You remember freedom as a child and the chase of a butterfly When did this darkness begin and yet, will it ever end? The days and nights are the same:
TRAPPED  “For You have put everything in subjection under his feet.  Now, in putting everything in subjection to man,  He left nothing outside of man’s control.” Hebrews 2  Well . . . that explains the chaos, the anarchy,
the hatred, strife, jealousy, murder We are all trapped by our own rule and yet, we have no true moral code no true identity beyond simple evolved cell collection We have nothing We are nothing Our lives truly bear nothing of value  But a Man came, I heard to ransom us from this condition of selfish obsession to transform us into His Image to bring forth a New World of love and life, freedom and . . .  What else is it that we desire? Why were we formed by a Mighty God Who already had everything? What is it that He wants from us?  And you see, the Blood flowed to buy us from our fallen state to bring forth friendship with the Almighty God  That’s preposterous! And yet, true from beginning to end . . .  Ransomed with the price of His own Son so that many would now be in His Image Friends with this Creator God True family  HOW GREAT A SALVATION!  And yet, we who know this Truth sit idly by waiting for the next church service when we could be . . . we should be telling the world  Join with me Take hold of 10 people in your life and make them a gift unto God Place them in the Hand of God  The Gift of Friendship we can give Him this day Only a prayer away  Give Him what He longs for . . . your loving, faithful friendship and a full and complete family
