I received a free devotion for women in the mail. ( If you know me well you know that I am all about free- so of course I thought I would start to include reading it when I have my devotions.)
The Title is BE Blessed. It has been a blessing. I would like to share one that really struck me:
The LORD bless you and keep you.
Numbers 6:24
We know for sure that when our heavenly Father "confers well-being and prosperity," his blessing includes unconditional acceptance, love and Favor. Paul writes:
In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Ephesians 1:4-6
In other words, God chose to adopt us to make us his very own children. We are sisters and co-heirs of Jesus Christ. He did this just because he wanted to! We are completely accepted and acceptable because of what Jesus did for us on Calvery's cross. what an honor he has given us!
This is straight from the devotional.
It seems that God has shown me so many different scripture passages about adoption since we have started our process of adoption.
God has adopted us- and I know he is calling us to an adopt orphan child.
