ADOPTED BY GOD

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  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.  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”

Romans 8:14-16 KJV

Fanny Crosby wrote a beautiful hymn “ADOPTED” about God adopting us into His family.  I love these words.  “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 so glad God adopted me into His family.

If you ever feel like your family doesn’t love you, remember our Heavenly Father loves you so much He adopted you into His family.  We have a tender loving and compassionate Heavenly Father.  It is a privilege to be part of the family of God.  One day God’s family will be together in Heaven for all eternity.

Thank You, precious Heavenly Father, for adopting us into Your family.  You have comforted and encouraged me many times and I appreciate it.  Thank You for being a tender loving Father and for caring about us and providing our needs and even giving us things we don’t need.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
