Purchased with the Blood
You were bought with a price, purchased with a preciousness, and the precious thing you were purchased with is the Blood of Jesus Christ, which He willingly shed when He died on the cross for our sins.
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know.
He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately -- at then end of the ages -- become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
--- 1 Peter 1:18-21
My own reflection on this Thought:
* Life is a journey and we have to travel with a deep consciousness of God. That's God's word for today. When we were in the dark, we just walk in this life like the way we want it to be. But of course everything's not the same now as we're Christ's followers. We need to travel it with a focus that we're living this life for Him. And we could be rest assured that we won't be left alone without any guidance from Him. He has sacrificed Himself to save us. Don't ever forget about that! (-fon-)
