Redemption

I love saying this word. It's one of those words that just brings alot of meaning and feelings when you say it, especially if you do it in a deep voice and say it slowly. Redemption.

I think every good movie has redemption at its core. It's because we love hearing stories where someone does something great against all odds. Somehow, we feel inspired to live our mundane lives. But perhaps what we long for is redemption in our own lives. Watching those movies and reading those books make us realize that even though we could be at the bottom of the pit of our lives, when we look up, we can see the heavens. There's a part of human existence where it longs to be redeemed. Made right. Made whole. Made new.

Redemption.
