Wednesday Words [2]- How Many Times

{image mine}

how many times

has He wiped our slate clean

how many times

 has He called us redeemed

even though we 

will not ever be worthy

to even be called His slave

how many times

has He forgiven our sin

how many times

again and again

even though we

will not ever be worthy

to even be called His slave

how many times 

has He called us His child

how many times

has He given that title

even though we

will not ever be worthy

to even be called His slave-

He calls us His child instead

~written 3.25.17

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight... // Ephesians 1:7-8

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. // Galatians 4:4-5
