Adoption signifies family. We are adopted into Gods family through Jesus. It is encouraging to me because I know that I am not alone. I am accepted by God and I am truly thankful. When I became adopted by God I became a new person with new surroundings just as if a baby were adopted and entered a new family. They are new to them and have to learn and adapt to the ways of that new family. Just like any famliy there will be hard times but no matter what you do God is right there loving you and waiting for you to come back to him just like your parents would. You are still their child and they will always love you. That why it is so amazing to be a part of Gods family and that any one can be a part nobody is rejected.

To me this means to become new in him. When we are Holy we are cleansed by Jesus Christ and live a clean life for him. We are blessed by God Through Jesus and made Holy and Blameless. Blameless to me is forgiven or known forgiveness. We have no one to blame but ourselves because when we live with Jesus we know when we are in sin. God is blameless and we can not blame him for our actions. He has given us his word therefore we must wholeheartedly follow it.

I don't neccessarily find it scary that God has Predestined plans for our lives but maybe it is hard to grasp the concept. Just knowing my life is preplanned gives me comfort because I know I can trust God. Once you have full trust in him you will have comfort in your life. He knew us before we were born and that is amazing to me. I just can't wait to see what God has planned for me because he has done so many awesome things already.

I feel that when I say in Christ it means I am one with Christ therefore everything that I say and do is in him and glorifies him. It is important for me to always remember the importance of this in my life. Many times I forget that Christ is always in me everywhere I go. Sometimes it is hard to live a Christ like life for he is perfect and we are not. I feel that if I always take a moment and remember Christ is with me I can reflect him through my actions and daily life. It is awesome just to think about the fact that he is always with us. He is an amazing God and I am thankful for that. This passage pours out his blessings many times.
