We Are Adopted
God is our heavenly Father
He sacrificed His only Son
 of His own nature
to purchase us
to redeem us
with His life-giving blood
God was under no obligation to adopt us
He gave us Himself 
but chose to become one of us
We have an inheritance
This is not our home
God will give us new names in heaven
God sees what we can become, not what we are now
 God has a plan and a purpose for our lives
There is no other person just like you or me
What an awesome thought that the Creator of the universe would want to be called "Abba Father"
by such insignificant creatures as us.
Somehow, though, in our insignificance, we portray the image of the living God
What a paradox
