But what I do know is that God has chosen you. He has chosen YOU as his adopted son or daughter. He doesn't just want to be your "friend" as many contemporary christian lyrics echo lightly. He wants to go deeper. He wants to be your daddy. He wants to be up with you in the night when you're fearful and worried. He wants to hold you when you need comforting and healing. He wants to provide for you, feed you, cloth you. He wants to love you, sacrificially, as a father does...but He can do it perfectly. He has chosen you despite who you are, what you've done, or where you will go in the future. He has chosen YOU because of who He is.
When you go through the process of adoption, you learn so much spiritually. You learn how to love like God does. But mostly importantly, you learn how much God loves you. Since our son has come into the world, our lives have been completely rocked both in the physical and in the spiritual. Besides my time being completely consumed with our little Joshua, my mind and heart have also been completely consumed with thoughts of complete awe of the Lord. I have so much to write about adoption, I don't know where to begin! Hence why I haven't written a post yet. I was going to give a detailed play by play of the day our son came in to the world (don't worry, I will soon!) because it was completely and awesomely covered by God's grace but after visiting the adoration chapel today, I just felt so strongly to tell you, the person reading these words, that God loves you. That He has chosen YOU to be His son or daughter. He has adopted you.
Bringing our son home.
