Adoption – by receiving grace God has adopted me into His family. Adoption is an amazing thing. It is even amazing in human terms. When a couple chooses to adopt a child, that child becomes theirs and they become the parents in every sense of the word. Birth certificates can be changed so that the birth parents are replaced by the adoptive parents. Names are changed to reflect the new parentage.

Our adoption in Christ means that we have been accepted into the family of Jesus, the Beloved, and that His family lasts forever. A miracle takes place and our very nature is changed, our DNA is recreated in our spirit so we now have the life of our adopted family living inside of us.

The Creator God of the universe is my Daddy. The Holy One is my Father. The eternal majestic, magnificent King is my Dad. Through adoption I now have had all ties severed from my old father I inherited in Adam and have now become the property of my heavenly Father as an heir and joint heir with Jesus. I have His authority; I have his Royal blood in me. All His riches are mine, all his inheritance I now share, I wear the Gold Royal ring on my finger, and I am clothed in the Royal robes of righteousness.

My Father is always there for me. When I am afraid He will hold me close and walk through the darkness he is there with me. When I hurt I can sit up onto His lap for comfort and protection. I do have a Dad who can sort it all out. What a joy to be able to call on Him and know His loving embrace inside me.
