He Restores Your Soul

by Leave a Comment

While the word redeem has many definitions, this one helped me understand the love of Jesus:

re·deem

/rəˈdēm/

gain or regain possession of (something) in exchange for payment.

One of the synonyms for this definition is to “make good.”

It unravels me to know the blood of Jesus is what makes me righteous. God’s love for me is so insurmountable He sent His only son to come and die for me. Jesus makes me good. He cleanses and redeems me. He makes me perfect in His image.

Jesus is my redeemer because the payment was his life. His blood. He gave it all for me so I could be brought back into the kingdom of God. He died so my soul would not be lost. His love for me is that great. Guess what? This love extends to you.

In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.”

Ephesians 1:7 NLT

Ephesians 1:7 is such a beautiful passage of scripture. Not only are you redeemed, but you are also forgiven. It can be difficult in a rough season to understand how you could be redeemed. You feel lost. Confused. Broken. Anxious. You might feel as though mistake after mistake pushes you further away from God. That is far from the truth. His blood still works. Today. Right now. In whatever situation you may be facing.

When we can remember how great the love of Jesus is for us we can walk with our heads held high in any season, knowing we can persevere through it. You do not need to be re-redeemed or try to redeem yourself. Jesus has already paid the price for you. You do not have to continue to try and save yourself. His blood has saved you and it will continue to save you in every moment. Remember in this season, whatever it looks like for you, He loves you. Entirely. He loves every part of you. He desires to be with you. He delights in you, no matter how you may feel. You still belong to Him. You will never leave his grasp.

Today, I invite you to be embraced in His love through the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus. Rest in that today. Know you are redeemed. Know you are still a daughter or son of God. Because of Jesus, you belong with Him and there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. We can run into the arms of the Father and know that He will be right there to catch us and pull us closer into his loving embrace. Let Him restore your soul.

Testimonials

  • Taylor Phillips, author of Training Ground

    United House Publishing was 100% an answer to prayer. I knew that God called me to write books, but I wasn't in a good position to publish according to certain industry expectations. I continued to be faithful, knowing God would make a way. AND HE DID. United House is such a champion for the underdog—for the one who doesn't have a huge platform but wants to be obedient to God. I was so blessed by the process from start to finish. From the heart and help of the revision team, to editing, coaching, and everything in between. United House was, and is, an incredible company to be part of!

  • Bridget Singleton, author of Mimo’s Welcome

    United House Publishing is absolutely GREAT to work!  I previously published a book alone... and it was so hard.  But UHP gives support like no other!  When they say they are praying over you and your work, you KNOW it!  The author coaches I have worked with have been awesome.  Not only do they help you set and crush your writing goals, they also help you pursue wellness in all aspects of your life, and you can't put a price tag on that!

  • Wendy Perry, author of The Battle Within

    God gave me the words to write a book and then He sent me to the perfect place to publish it—United House Publishing! The thought of editing and publishing a book was new and overwhelming. However, through God's peace and directing me to UHP the whole process was made easier. I felt "safe" and "at ease" sharing the story God gave me to UHP, because they treated me and my manuscript with respect. I'm thankful I obeyed God and worked with UHP to publish my very first book.

  • Gina Rodriguez, author of Teacher Tired

    As a person who has NEVER considered herself a writer, it is no shock I was in need of help when I felt led to publish my first book.  I am so blessed that I was referred to UHP.  I started my writing journey so afraid of the process, not sure where to start or what to expect. It was such a huge relief to have a team of authentic writers, editors, mentor me along the way as I pushed back fears of intimidation that tried to stop me.  With UHP I found my writing voice. The monthly coaching calls were especially important to keep me going when idleness or doubt crept in (because it will).  Having UHP to pray with me, refine my writing skills and keep me accountable made all the difference between beginning to write a book to actually finishing it!

  • Dianne Wyper, author of Shattered
