We won't be quiet

Sooooo...
redeemed.
Today for whatever reason it num-chucked me today.
I read Jordan's blog post about Beautiful Things and it resonated with me all day.
Then it totally slapped me during the silliest moment of the day. I was helping my little brother with his Algebra homework right after my dad had gotten on him for failing a test. My brother sat there frustrated as he totally didn't understand the problem. He told me that he was a failure. I was baffled and completely heartbroken. My brother thought he was a failure because he couldn't do a math problem. Then BOOM. I thought of how God tells us constantly that we aren't failures. No matter how small or big it is we aren't failures. Because we are REDEEMED. No matter how many times we don't take the opportunities He gives us. No matter how many times we mess up. No matter how many times we feel like failures. God redeems us and tells us that we rock. No matter how many times the devil gets in our head and tells us that we stink God comes in and saves the day. Sick much?
"Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe
... cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and HE delivered them from their distress."
(Psalm 107:2-6)
AHHHHHHHH HE DELIVERS US. He tells the devil to gget out and then tells us that we are redeemed from whatever we were doing and tells us that we can be and are better. dskafjaskdfjasdlkfalskdjf AHHH GOD IS SO GOOD.
So moral of the story. My brother is redeemed. I am redeemed. YoU are redeemed. God redeems you.
So yeah.
Love you guys.
You all are amazing!
