Adoption is not by chance or by accident. Adoption is a CHOICE. An action of LOVE and CARE for another. Perhaps we should call marriage an adoption of sorts? To think that God loves me so much that he chooses to ADOPT me, to be a co-heir alongside his Son Jesus, is an honor that is beyond comprehension... That God wants for ME to have what Christ has-- eternal life and JOY in God's presence. It is a mystery to me WHY, but so very humbling.

For me, to be “In Christ” is to affirm the ultimate, intimate relationship. We are more closely united than husband and wife, or mother and child – we are ONE in a way that my words cannot begin to describe. In response to this “Oneness” I feel called – inspired and empowered – to be a functioning and vital part of His Body – the Church. There is nothing I can do or think or feel that does not include Christ, because he is always with me. Knowing this I am very cognizant of my sin, and so very grateful for his grace!
