Meaning of purchase: the action of buying something.

The word purchase appears in the Bible in 50 occurrences in 12 translations. 

A priceless gift.. Jesus 

You were actually purchased with precious blood, like that of a sacrificial lamb unblemished and spotless, the priceless blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:19

It makes me wonder were we worth it??  

Many have turned their back on the greatest love known to mankind… It’s that agape love from God that runs so deep that our human mind can not understand the generous heart that He possesses.  

We were purchased, with His life, blood, and last breath… 

The agonizing moment wounds my heart… I would like to turn back the hands of time and change history… He was and is too precious to lose…

Sadly I do not possess the power to save Him from the pain He endured. But I have the power to repay Him for loving me so much that He would die a humiliating, grueling death just for me.

So I will ask my Dearly Beloved…What do you want of me? What do I have of value? There are no earthly possessions that have such richness and beauty...

I can only give you my heart, my mind, and my soul… 

But how? Just how do we give Him our all? It is a daily commitment. A daily choice. A daily act of love. 

It’s easy when we spend the time to truly get to know Him!! 

It’s Him! It’s always Him! and Yes He WOW's me...


'When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,' says the Lord God. Ezekiel 16:8

I am His by Election. I am His by Donation. I am His by Creation. I am His by Redemption.I am His by Presentation.

The meaning of mine: used to indicate the one or ones belonging to me: 

The word mine appears in 825 instances in the Bible.

When I see the word mine my mind drifts to the thoughts of children as they fight for what they think is rightfully theirs. Resulting in its mine syndrome. 

I do believe many people still operate under those guidelines. And selfishness raises its ugly head. 

Come with me as we explore what we can discover about this word in this amazing Book we have taken ownership of. This copy is mine. Rightfully so it has my name on the cover to prove it...It's my copy of my Bible. However, the story that is tucked so lovingly between its pages is for all mankind... So again is it truly mine? 

Are our earthly possessions truly ours? Or are they just on loan for a short time while we are here on earth? Why are we so possessive of our personal treasures?  When I think of the word mine with my spiritual eyes. My mine becomes, me! the true essence of who I am. The memories that I have made with others .. and the relationships we have cultivated and lovingly shared. But even these things are not things we can keep and say they are mine. Because when we leave this earth the memories and relationships that were shared become ours .. Yours and the ones we have left behind.

When we boil it down all things are a gift from our Heavenly Father. The only possession we truly can say it’s Mine is our relationship with Him... The Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are the true and only constant in our lives.. and they have given us this promise for eternity...

But I have discovered that sharing Him with others enriches my life. 

Because He is Omni-mine. He is the great I-am... I am everything to everyone... I truly do not understand how He does it. But I just know He is mine and I am His...and if you stand in my presence I plan on sharing Him with anyone who is willing to listen... I hope that my sharing Him plants a seed in your soul that makes Him yours. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him 

Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine. 

Leviticus 20:26
