Adopted By God

Verse of the day - 1 John 4:19 (NRSV)

We love because he first loved us.

In chapter 7 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that we have been adopted by Him.

Excerpt from Called By God.

My dear children, I have adopted you as My own.  I love you and you are Mine.  Come before Me in your time of need.  Like a loving father, I am also here for My dear children.  I will never leave you or forsake you.  Come, take My hand and allow Me to lead the way.  I am the Way Maker.  When you place your needs in My hands, you will find the answers you need.  Blessed are you when you allow Me to help you.

As adopted children of God, we are truly blessed.  Jesus loves us so much that He gave up His life for us.  Through the shedding of His Blood, we are made whole.  We receive forgiveness for our sins and are made righteous in the eyes of God.  Through the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross, God sees us as good.  We were made in His image, and Jesus lives inside each one of us.  He desires us to live as He lived.  When we live as Jesus did, we do what is morally correct.  We follow His Ways, and not the ways of the world.
