OUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER

"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."

Romans 8:15
King James Version

Fanny Crosby wrote the beautiful hymn "ADOPTED". I love the words in this inspiring and heart touching hymn.

"O what a blessing, how can I express it? Out of the fullness of rapture I sing, Now by the Father received and adopted, I am a child and an heir of a king.

I am adopted, O wonderful love, Heir to a heritage purchased above; Tell it, my soul, and joyfully sing, I am a child and an heir of a king.

O what a Father, how tenderly gracious, O what a Savior to make me His care; Tho’ I have slighted, rejected, and grieved Him, Still He permits me His kingdom to share.

O the unsearchable riches He giveth, Riches increasing from day unto day; Treasures in value all others excelling, Treasures that never will rust nor decay.

When I have finished the work He appoints me, When I have ended my journey below, Then to my Father and Jesus my Savior, Home to a beautiful palace I go."

Thank You, Heavenly Father. Thank You, Jesus for loving us and for all that You have done for us and for everything that You do for us every day even when we sometimes fail You and hurt You. I love You and appreciate all You have done for me.
