A PURCHASED POSSESSION I have loved you, Mansoul. I bought you for a price; a price not of corruptible things, as of silver and gold, but a price of blood, my own blood, which I spilled freely to make you mine, and to reconcile you to my Father. And I stood by you in your backsliding, when you were unfaithful, though you did not know I was there. It was I who made your way dark and bitter. It was I who put Mr. Godly-Fear to work. It was I who stirred up Conscience and Understanding and Will. It was I who made you seek me, and in finding me, find your own health and happiness. Nothing can hurt you but sin; nothing can grieve me but sin; nothing can make you fall before your foes but sin; beware of sin my Mansoul. I have taught you to watch, to fight, to pray, and to make war against your foes; so now I command you to believe that my love is constant to you. O my Mansoul, how I have set my heart, my love upon you! Show me your love-and hold fast-until I take you to my Fathers kingdom where there is no more sorrow, no grief, no pain...where you shall never be afraid again... The Holy War - John Bunyan Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (1 Peter 1:18-19) Oh Lord , May we not take for granted the price you paid to set us free from sin and self. May we glory in your strength! May we praise you our God and King. May we cherish the blessed freedom you have bestowed upon us. May we lift our wounded Brothers and Sisters who have yet to hear that you are the Eternal victor. May we shout from the rooftops that you are victorious! May we enter into your rest knowing that we are Your PURCHASED POSSESSION. In Jesus name. Amen.
