There are a great many stories about adopted kids. From days-old, to teens, and young adults. I read about a young man in his twenties adopting an 18-yr. old. Their stories are amazing. Of course, no all adoptees live out great family stories, but overall, most stories are great. Along those lines are the stories of adopted kids searching or learning they had siblings who were also adopted by different families. Sometimes, they’ve lived just blocks apart without knowing it!
Maybe you were adopted. Maybe you have been wondering about your family. Maybe you haven’t had the best experiences. You may have wondered why you exist, or if your natural parents loved you at all…Your story is super-important to God! He knows the answers to all your questions! He also knows you personally, and wants you to know He cares! Therefore, the most fascinating adoption stories are yours and mine! While your story joins the millions of others out there, you’re His special child. He’s cried over you. Loved you so much He went to the cross for your sins-to remove them so He could have access to you and you to Him.
Whether we were loved or rejected by our natural families, God has seen fit to adopt us into His. He provides extra-care to each of His children. Like others, you may wonder where to find Him, He’s nearer than you think! He’s as near as the breath you breathe! He’s as close as your heartbeat. Invite Him in to your heart and He’ll live within you! “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not” (Jeremiah 33:3).
Like the best parent ever, He’ll never leave us, forget us, or mistreat us. And one doesn’t have to wonder if there are other relatives out there, because there are literally, billions in God’s family! I’m sure His walls are filled with pictures of our beautiful faces!
