Romans 8:15-16
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Thank God for adoption. Without it, where would we be? Kids wouldn't have a home, parents who desperately wanted children but couldn't have them wouldn't expereince the thrill of holding a child in their arms without adoption. Not to mention how adoption reaches other parts of the world by allowing US citizens to adopt thier nation born child.
I can honestly say going through some form of adoption myself, I am deeply greatful for the relationships that have came my way. Adoption is a form of freedom that has been given to us and the only thing we need to do to be qualified for it is to believe on the Son of God.
Without recieving of who He is, we would be strangers in the land of sojurn. Going to and fo looking for a place lay our heads, our prayers being totally going unheard, and the cries of many who are lost without the sense of hope, much like the world today.
We need to wake up and take full advantage of who we are and who we belong to. We belong to the Son of God who created the heavens and the earth whereby nothing is impossible.
We need to wake up and not apologize for who we are being the Spirit that is living in me wants to live in others. We need to hit the highways and byways and let people know about our adoption papers for if not, one of these days, we will stand before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and answer for why we didn't share the good news.
We are resposible for the people of the world and there is no way I want to stand before the throne of God and here the words, "Depart from me, I never knew you."
The most exciting thing is that my adopted father has room for so many other children and the only thing he ask of me is go tell them the good news: they've been adopted, come on home.
God Bless.
