YOU ARE ADOPTED!

"YOU ARE ADOPTED! No matter how deeply you may have been wounded or damaged by the lack of love from others in your past, you are now deeply loved. You have been adopted as a child of God and given all the rights and privileges that were previously granted only to the Father's one natural Son, Jesus (1Jn.3:1-2). You don't need to live or feel like a spiritual orphan anymore. God does not see you as merely a pardoned criminal, but as His very own son or daughter! You now have immediate access into the Father's presence, the promise of His provision for your every need, and the privilege of His discipline for your good." Steven L. Childers

1 John 3:1-2, "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is."
