Adopted By God

You are adopted by God...
I am sure you know of a family who has adopted a child. Think of the process the couple went through to adopt. Think about how much they really wanted that child. Think of how they prepared the room for the adopted child and waited anxiously for it's arrival. When the child finally arrived, the couple was overjoyed and spent all their time with the child -- watching the child sleep, holding the child closely, showing the child off to all of their friends and family.

Ephesians 1:5 states, "He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will" (emphasis added)

God not only created you, He adopted you!
God knew exactly what He was doing when He created you - no mistake was made. He adopted you! What do we know about adoptions? They are always wanted! He watches you - even when you sleep! :) He will hold you closely when you are going through a rough time and gives you peace during times of trial. He delights in you and loves you so deeply! Be encouraged! Know that the Lord made no mistake when He created you!
