Daily Thought
"He claimed that you gave it to him," mocked the Constable.
"Yes, of course I gave him the silverware," replied the Bishop. "Thank you for bringing him back. Release him."
"You forgot the candlesticks, Jean Valjean. They are worth 2,000 francs. Why did you leave them?"
--Victor Hugo's Les Miserables
Do you think lightly of the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
--Romans 2:4
The Bishop glared with terrifying love, "Jean Valjean, you no longer belong to evil. With this silver I've bought your soul. I've ransomed you from fear and hatred. Now I give you back to God."
You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
--1Corinthians 6:19-20
To God's Glory,

I am Yours, God, bought fully by the blood of Your Son, my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am, therefore, a living sacrifice to You, showing the world Your good, pleasing and perfect will.
Amen.
