God my Redeemer of Weak in Heart and Prosecuted.

God Will Redeem the Weak in Heart and the Persecuted

God will redeem the weak in heart.

The ones whose courage falters, whose strength has fallen apart.

The ones who wake each morning to a mountain they can't climb,

Whose spirits have been battered by the relentless march of time.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. (Isaiah 40:29)

He does not shame their trembling, nor mock their fragile frame.

He bends down close to listen, and He whispers—calls their name.

For the weak in heart are precious to the One who bore the cross,

Who knows what it is to feel abandoned, to suffer loss.

God will redeem the persecuted.

The ones who stand for truth in a world that calls it lie.

The ones who bear the mockery, the fist, the whispered "why."

The ones whose only crime was love that would not be contained,

Whose faith became a target, whose hope could not be chained.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:10)

He sees the silent tears you cry when no one else is near.

He counts each cruel word they speak, each wound, each hidden fear.

And He is keeping record—not for vengeance, but for right,

For the day when every wrong is judged by His eternal light.

He will redeem.

Not with the world's cold justice, but with a Father's heart.

He will bind up all your wounds and heal the deepest part.

The weak shall be called mighty, the persecuted shall be blessed,

And the last shall be the first to find His everlasting rest.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9)

So take heart, you weary warriors, whose battle never ends.

Your Redeemer lives and loves you, and on Him you can depend.

The day is coming, swift and sure, when all will be made right.

The weak and persecuted then shall walk in glorious light.

Amen.

Blessings of deutronomy be upon us.

 The Blessings of Deuteronomy

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

The Lord shall open the heavens, His treasure-house of rain,

And bless the work of your hands, again and yet again.

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. (Deuteronomy 28:3)

Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb, the crops of your ground,

Blessed the offspring of your livestock—the calves within the pound.

Your barns will overflow with plenty, your storehouses be filled,

By the hand of God who loves you, whose Word is yet fulfilled.

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock. (Deuteronomy 28:4)

Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed when you go out.

Your journey and your resting shall know no trace of doubt.

The enemy who rises against you shall fall before your face,

For the Lord Himself will fight for you, and grant you victory's embrace.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. (Deuteronomy 28:6)

Blessed shall your basket be, and blessed your kneading bowl.

Blessed shall your provisions be, sustaining mind and soul.

The Lord will grant abundance—prosperity untold,

Establishing you as holy, a treasure to behold.

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. (Deuteronomy 28:8)

You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.

You will be the head, not the tail, exalted in the sun.

For the Lord will make you prosperous, in the land He swore to give,

If you faithfully obey Him, and by His precepts live.

The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:13)

But hear the heart within these words—it is not mere reward,

But covenant relationship with the One who is your Lord.

These blessings flow from walking with Him, delighting in His way,

Not to earn, but to respond to love that brightens every day.

So may these ancient blessings find their dwelling place in you.

Not as magic, not as formula, but as promises so true

To the God who keeps His covenant, who loves and who provides,

In whom all nations of the earth shall find their rest and quiet tides.

Amen.

God is the Redeemer of the Oppress.

 God Is the Redeemer of the Oppressed

God is the Redeemer of the oppressed.

He hears the cry that rises from the midnight of despair,

He sees the tear that falls when no one else can hear the prayer.

The One who parted waters for the captive and the bound,

Still walks among the broken, where the lost and lonely sound.

He will take pity on the weak and save the needy; he will rescue them from oppression. (Psalm 72:12-14)

He is the Redeemer of the forgotten and the poor.

The ones the world steps over, the ones it can't ignore

Because their pain is inconvenient, their need a lasting stain—

But God bends low to lift them up and break oppression's chain.

He is the Redeemer of those crushed by unjust hands.

He sees the hidden wound, the fear, the silent, shaking hands.

He promises a justice that the world cannot yet see,

A day when every wrong will be made right, eternally.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9)

For He Himself was oppressed, and He Himself was afflicted.

He walked the road of suffering, by human hands constricted.

He knows the weight of false accusation, the sting of being unheard,

And because He walked through it, He can redeem with certain word.

So lift your eyes, you weary ones, whose hope has worn so thin.

The Redeemer lives! He sees you! He will fight and He will win.

No power of darkness, no oppressor's might can hold you long,

For the One who breaks the shackles is faithful, true, and strong.

This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." (Isaiah 48:17)

He is your Redeemer.

He will not abandon you to the oppressor's hand.

He will bring you out. He will bring you through.

He will bring you home.

Amen.

Save me the Hundred sheep.

 Here is a poem based on the parable of the lost sheep and a collection of scriptures celebrating the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one.

---

The One He Left Behind

When ninety-nine were safe and warm,

Secure within the shepherd's fold,

You left them all to face the storm,

To bring me back from bitter cold.

I was the one who wandered far,

The foolish sheep who lost its way.

I followed paths of moon and star,

Until the light had turned to grey.

But You, Good Shepherd, counted me,

Not just a number in the throng.

You crossed the valleys, climbed the tree,

And brought me home with joyful song.

You save me, the hundredth lamb,

The one who could not find the way.

You place me on Your shoulders, and

You carry me—I'm here to stay.

Rejoice with Me, the angels sing,

For this one sheep was lost but found!

Let all the courts of heaven ring—

The lost is home, and safe and sound.

So when I wander, when I stray,

When I forget Your voice so true,

Come find me, Lord, and bring me back,

For there is no one else like You.

And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." (Luke 15:4-7)

The Lost Will Be Found:

"I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak." (Ezekiel 34:16)

With humble, honest heart.

But with a soul set apart.

And call upon Your name.

Does Your mercy turn away.

Though I wander, though I stray,

They wrap me in Your perfect peace.

When I cannot understand

The trials held within Your hand,

When faith is weak and hope is small—

Your mercy covers, holds it all.

Forever—what a word to hold!

A promise that will not grow old.

Through endless ages, still the same—

Your mercy calls upon my name.

So I will lift my voice and sing,

To You, my Savior, Lord, and King.

For great Your love, so vast, so free—

Your mercy endures forever in me.

Steals the promises I keep,

When my faith begins to bend—

Your love helps me through again.

When the storms of life descend,

And I cannot comprehend,

When I've lost my way, my friend—

Your love helps me through again.

Not with thunder, not with force,

But with gentle, steady course.

Not with anger or with shame,

But with love that calls my name.

You reach down and take my hand,

Help me rise and help me stand.

Whisper peace that has no end—

Your love helps me through again.

Through every trial, every test,

Through every doubt that I've confessed,

Through every wound that needed tending—

Your love helps me, never ending.

So I will trust You all my days,

And walk in Your love's faithful ways.

For when my strength cannot break through,

Your love helps me—it sees me through.

The Song That Never Ends

Hallelujah, hear it rise,

From humble hearts and hopeful eyes.

A single word, yet vast and deep,

The song that every soul can keep.

Hallelujah, through the night,

When darkness hides the morning light.

When tears fall fast and hope is thin,

Hallelujah still begins.

Hallelujah, in the day,

When blessings bloom along the way.

When joy overflows and hearts are glad,

Hallelujah, never sad.

Hallelujah, for the cross,

Where saving love endured the loss.

Where Jesus bled and died for me,

Hallelujah, I am free.

Hallelujah, for the grave,

That could not hold the One who saves.

He rose in power, He rose in glory,

Hallelujah tells the story.

Hallelujah, saints have sung,

Since time began and earth was young.

And when this world has passed away,

Hallelujah, we will stay.

Hallelujah, around the throne,

With countless hearts and voices known,

We'll join the chorus ever new—

Hallelujah, praise be true.

The Center Holds

Before the world began to be,

Before the mountains or the sea,

Before the stars were set in place—

Christ was there, full of grace.

The center of it all is He,

The Word made flesh for all to see.

The Alpha, the Omega too,

The faithful One, the ever true.

In Him all things were made and hold,

The universe His hands enfold.

Galaxies spin at His command,

The smallest grain of sea-soaked sand.

He is the center of creation,

The foundation of salvation.

The cross He bore, the grave He conquered,

The risen King, forever honored.

He is the center of my story,

The Author, Finisher of glory.

Every breath, every step I take,

Every heart-wake, every break—

All roads lead back to Calvary,

All paths find their destiny

In Him who holds the keys of death,

In Him who gives the Spirit's breath.

Christ is the center of it all—

My rising up, my falling fall.

My beginning and my end,

My Savior, Lord, and dearest Friend.

Let every knee bow at His name,

Let every tongue His praise proclaim.

For He alone is worthy, true—

Christ the center, making all things new.

The Inheritance That Never Fades

Bless me, Lord, not with silver or gold,

Not with treasures that grow old.

Not with houses, land, or fame,

Not with glory in my name.

But bless me with the promise sealed,

The hope that cannot be revealed

By mortal eyes or human hands—

The inheritance that forever stands.

An inheritance that never fades,

Not dimmed by time or troubled shades.

Not stolen by the thief of night,

But kept in heaven, pure and bright.

Bless me with the eternal weight

Of glory that awaits the gate.

Where many mansions stand prepared,

And every tear is gently wiped and shared.

Bless me with the crown of life,

That waits beyond all earthly strife.

For those who love His appearing,

For those His voice are ever hearing.

Bless me with the homeland fair,

Where there is no more despair.

Where saints and angels sing His praise,

Through everlasting, endless days.

This is the blessing I implore—

Not just for now, but evermore.

An inheritance that will not perish,

Secured by love I cannot merit.

Set Apart

Holy, holy, holy Lord,

The angels cry around Your throne.

With burning hearts and one accord,

They worship You and You alone.

And yet You whisper to my soul,

"Be holy, as I am holy too."

A calling that should overwhelm,

Yet by Your grace, I can pursue.

Not by my strength or my own might,

Not by the works my hands have done,

But by the Spirit's cleansing light,

Transformed by the Beloved Son.

Set apart for Your design,

A vessel purified and new.

Not for my glory, but for Thine,

To live a life that points to You.

So take my hands, my heart, my voice,

And make me more like Christ each day.

In holiness I will rejoice,

And walk the narrow, sacred way.

For You are holy, Lord above,

And I am Yours, redeemed, set free.

Refine me in Your perfect love,

Till what You see is only Thee.

When everything I touch turns true,

When blessings fall like gentle rain—

Your love is all I need.

In want, in wealth, in joy, in pain,

In sunshine or in driving rain,

Through every season, every deed—

Your love is all I need.

Not silver, gold, or earthly things,

Not power, fame, what success brings,

Not any treasure I could plead—

Your love is all I need.

For love that held me from the start,

That knew my name and knew my heart,

That gave itself to set me free—

Your love is all I need.

So let the world fall where it may,

Let night give way to brightest day,

I have enough, yes, I am freed—

Your love is all I need.

Scripture for His All-Sufficient Love

Nothing More Precious:

"Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you." (Psalm 63:3)

God Is Love:

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:8)

Love That Surpasses Knowledge:

"And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:19, ESV)

Content in All Circumstances:

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." (Philippians 4:11) — for Christ's love is the source of that contentment.

Nothing Can Separate Us:

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)

His Grace Is Sufficient:

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" (2 Corinthians 12:9) — and grace is love in action.

The Lord Is My Portion:

"I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.'" (Lamentations 3:24)

All the Fullness of God:

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." (Ephesians 3:17-18)

Better Than Thousands:

"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere." (Psalm 84:10)

The Greatest of These Is Love:

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Love That Casts Out Fear:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18)

Set me free.

 Here is a heartfelt poem and a collection of scriptures for the soul crying out for liberation.

Break Every Chain

Set me free from the chains I wear,

The heavy burdens, the hidden care.

The weights I carry, the lies I believe,

The wounds that ache, the pain I grieve.

Set me free from the past that binds,

The haunting memories in my mind.

The guilt that whispers, "You're not enough,"

The shame that makes this journey rough.

Set me free from fear's cold hand,

That keeps me from the promised land.

From worry's grip and doubt's cruel voice,

That steals my hope and leaves no choice.

Set me free to simply be

The person You have made in me.

Not bound by what was done or said,

But raised with Christ from death's dark bed.

For where the Spirit of the Lord is,

There is freedom, there is promise.

So break the chains, unlock the door,

And let me rise to soar once more.

Set me free, and I will run

Into the arms of Your dear Son.

Set me free, and I will sing

Praises to my Lord and King.

Forever I Will Sing

When morning breaks and shadows flee,

When dawn awakens earth and sea,

My heart will rise on wings of praise—

I can sing Your love forever.

When noonday sun beats hot and strong,

And weary hours seem so long,

Still my soul will find its song—

I can sing Your love forever.

When evening falls and day is done,

When setting skies blaze gold and dun,

Until the final race is run—

I can sing Your love forever.

Not just today, not just tonight,

But through the everlasting light,

Beyond all time, in endless sight—

I can sing Your love forever.

For love that never will decay,

For love that never walks away,

For love that hears me when I pray—

I can sing Your love forever.

And when I reach that shining shore,

Where death and pain are no one's anymore,

I'll join the song forevermore—

I can sing Your love forever.
