As I live my life and see the changes God makes daily.  I realize that this battle I wage is one that I wage on myself.  The war has been won and this is without a doubt the truth.  However, we get caught up in this illusion of life and believe we need to pursue things in our way.  God calls himself our REDEEMER.  This simply means that none of our sins nor their consequences will keep us from intimacy with him, because of Christ’s sacrifice.  What a way to live and to love knowing that we have been redeemed and that we are forever redeemed.  It doesn’t mean to go and sin all you want, but it does mean that every time we fall, He catches us before we hit the ground.  Our Jesus is a righteous and powerful warrior and even in that, in the LION which is not safe, is a love that was willing to sacrifice all for you and me.  I am proud to say that I am redeemed today in the blood of Jesus and I know that my call and my life will have to imitate that by how I live and not by just what I say.  I will choose to feed the Lion and starve the Monster(sin/flesh).  The closer we draw to Jesus the less the heaviness can press down on us.  ONE LOVE!!! SELAH!!
