Redemption

Redemption lives in simple conversation, in time
The kind that makes you think,
When you learn something new,
When you see something you didn't before.

That conversation enlightens,
Smells like the pine trees up north
Or the lilacs in grandma's garden.

It awakens hope,
Like a sunrise cresting
Or a baby slowly opening her eyes for the first time,
Squeal of joy coming from mother, father, and baby all in unison.

God can redeem anything and does every day,
He redeems those lost in sin, broken from relationship hurt, and hopeless from worldly woes.
He is restoration.
He restores everything.
He restores my soul.
