God's
commission....Time and time again, we are instructed to pattern ourselves after Christ.
In Genesis we are told that we are made in the image of God. What does that
mean in relations to how we live our life? In I Corinthians were are told to be
imitators of Christ.....IMITATORS.....to act like, pattern oneself like CHRIST.
Below you will find two of the scriptures that really speak to us when it comes
to adoption. We have caught ahold of the spirit of adoption. Not only are we
forever grateful that God grafted us into His family, we count it a privilege
to do the same when we take care of the orphans, a group of people dear to
God's heart. Not at any moment to we see ourselves on the level of God, we are
just DOING Christ...making His name, love, being know here in earth. It's time
out for everything else: the pettiness of our human flaw....its time to take
care of KINGDOM business!
But to all who
believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of
God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion
or plan, but a birth that comes from God. John 1:12-13. God is giving us a son
in His way. For His plans and ways are not our own. We are just vessels
yielding ourselves and being sensitive to His steering so that we follow in the
paths that He directs us.
No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. John 14:18
