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.
