"He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God." (John 1:12-13)
Adoption is a wonderful thing! A child who was once without a family and without hope suddenly has both. Contrary to popular belief we are not all God's children at birth. We are indeed God's creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. We are known and loved by him before one cell came together in our mother's womb. But, we are separated from God and without the rights and privileges of members of his family. Adoption can take a number of years and cost thousands of dollars but becoming a child of God takes only faith. If you are walking outside of God's family it's time to come home. Jesus paid the price so believe in his name and receive him today.

Heirs to the Promise - The Wonder of Adoption
If you have been adopted into the family of God praise him today! If you are alone and separated from Him by sin then pray like this:
Lord, I know I'm lost and in need of forgiveness. I want to be accepted and brought into your family. I trust that Jesus died in my place and rose from the dead so that my relationship with you don't end in the grave. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. In your name I pray, Amen.
