Today is dubbed Redemption Day for S’s daughter. It is the anniversary of when she spoke up of the abuse she had been tolerating.
The Shepherd is tied to it’s victory… for he is the one who shared hope. He is the one who spoke truth and said Redemption is real and available for you… you who were abused. You who have also made bad choices because of your pain, or because of yourself. Regardless, God loves you and wants you. God restores you.
It is a good day. A day I cannot be separated from. This has been a very hard place for me to be… it is associated only with pain and tragedy. But, this day reminds me the shepherd brought a life changing/saving message.
