I Have
Been Adopted
by
Barbara Philbrook
I have
been adopted by my Heavenly Father into His family,
and if you will allow me to I'd like to tell you
what that means to me.
The sins
that I have committed and the wrongs I have done,
have all been forgiven and they've been forgotten each
and every one.
I having
been abandoned by my parents as baby to be raised by
another,
can claim the Heavenly King Our Savior as my adopted
brother.
When
things go wrong as they often do,
I can turn my problems over to my Father above and He
sends me peace as the Bible tells us he will do.
I have
been given a life saving gift known as grace,
and when the time is right I'll be taken home to see my
Savior and my Father face to face.
There is a
comfort that one can not define,
in knowing that when there is a need to be forgiven
again as I confess that forgiveness will be mine.
I need not
worry what will happen to me once I die,
God has told me in my Bible and I know he does not lie.
I
don't have to spend time worrying over what to do,
my Bible assures me God is watching out for me and He can
do it so much better it's true.
Each day I
surrender and give him all that I am or will ever be,
and then I watch for each new adventure rather
expectantly.
Now I am
not perfect God hasn't finished working with me as yet,
but the outcome will be Awesome of that one fact I'm
willing to bet.
If you
would like to live with this very same peace of mind,
just open the Bible and ask God to show you He's promised
that all who seek shall find!
Then when
our time is passed and we've been called home to stay,
we can share the endless joy that being in God's Family
brings our way.
