"You make me new, You are making me new." These are the lyrics that finally defined redemption for me. It is being saved, and being in a constant process of being made new every single day. This was so cool for me, because lately I feel like I've been doing so many things wrong... by not completely trusting Jesus, not sharing with my friends about Him as much as I should, judging others... the list goes on and on. But through that song God totally spoke to me and told me that becoming more like him is a process. A process that doesn't happen overnight, but instead one that will be a continuous journey throughout my life. He is making me new right now, and will continue to do so every day of my life. I am so thankful for a God who loves me despite my many imperfections, and who redeems me every single day. I don't deserve or understand this amount of love, but I don't think I ever will, so I just accept it and live in Jesus' love.

Beautiful Things
Something that really hit me this week (well... yesterday to be exact) was the idea of being CONTINUALLY redeemed. I read through the passage to go along with the redeemed theme, and I thought it was cool, but it wasn't until yesterday at church that I finally got it. Like, really got it. The band played "Beautiful Things," which is an amazing song about how God makes beautiful beings out of us, even though we sin and have so much baggage, he still manages to make us beautiful.

I really needed to hear this today! I have felt the same in the since that I feel like I keep doing all the wrong things. I love how you mentioned Redemption as a process of making all things new continuously. We are continuously being made new and everyday when need his redeeming power. Thanks for the post Jordan!
