Friday, April 30, 2004 Adoption(Dave) Adoption: A changed position. The believer is no longer a child of the world but is given the position of an adult son in God's family.Yes, I see what you mean. I have heard this preached about over the years. Must take a while for an adopted person to feel accepted and really a part of the family? However, a combo of gratitude on the adopted persons part, and unconditional love on the part of the new parent (God), elder brother (Jesus) and siblings (all our christian siblings?) would make this transition smooth. Hmmmmm, unconditional love from the siblings. This causes a small spike in my heart ..... I ask myself, is Carols love for these people UNCONDITIONAL? Carol is not available for comment right now as she contemplates this answer and feels a great lack! Fortunately, "New each morning are His mercies" and we can start afresh! I heard of a person who said to his minister: "I have to give up. I see my life stretching on and on and I can't face being a christian all those years, and serve God for the rest of my life.. its too hard"! The minister answered: "Can you do it for one day?" The man said: "Oh yes, thats easy! One day is easy!" The minister replied: "One day at a time is all you need to think about! Tomorrow, do it for one day. The next day, do it for one day. Thats what serving God is all about"! And true too! Mans way is to plan ahead, have goals, have retirement funds ready for a comfortable retirement and so on. Gods way, is for now and today. Those lillies in the field only think of the present moment. Gods way is so different and opposite to mans way. The answer lies in being able to trust and have faith!!!!! # posted by Caroline @ 8:28 am 0 comments
