Adopted and beloved 💛 Your NEW elevated status

What's your relationship with adoption?

Reader,

Over the years, I've had the privilege of seeing several close friends adopt children from near and far.

We've welcomed them at the airport as their parents have spanned the globe to go get them and bring them home.

And we've rejoiced when phone calls came in from social workers at a hospital nearby.

Whatever their circumstances, all of these children were wanted, chosen, and prayed for.

You may not have first or second-hand experience with adoption, but if you are in Christ, you ARE adopted!

I asked the Lord to help me see adoption with fresh eyes, and as I studied Romans 8:15-17 and wrote this post. By his grace, he answered.

This week's post is a continuation of my series on Romans 8.

I hope you'll give it a read.
