Well I read quite a few different blogs everyday, and most of them are about adoption. Whether it is Bush and his wife trying to adopt August or Aaron and his wife and their kids I am reading about it everywhere. I love to see people taking in kids without love and smothering them with it, but that isn’t why I’m writing this. 

I am writing this because they have inspired me to think about God in a deeper way. They all have loved unselfishly and it has really shown me such a beautiful picture of my life in Christ. This has caused me to remember my own adoption. No, I wasn’t adopted by earthly parents, but by a God who couldn’t wait to take me in as His own. I knew nothing about this God and had no idea who He was, but He sought me out to pour His love and heart into my life. I can’t think of anyone in my life who has loved me without expecting anything in return. Now I don’t mean they are all selfish, but to some extent we all are. I mean would you continue to love your spouse when they rejected your love on a daily basis? Maybe for a while, but not forever. That is what amazes me about God. He has a way of loving me so unselfishly, but at the same time knowing He is the best thing I could ever have. I have fallen in love all over again and He has captivated my heart with His kindness. Thank you so much for your love my Friend.

I propose a toast…A toast to the most loving Father and Friend I have ever known.

I am the beloved of God.
