I’m eternally grateful to be an orphan who is no longer fatherless! I’ve been adopted and made a joint heir in the kingdom of God. A daughter of the King. It is both humbling and completely overwhelming to know that the only reason I love God is because He first loved me. His compassionate mercy fills my heart and is the overflow of anything good He enables me to do. I can only hope that when people see me they see my Father. I think that’s the highest complement an adopted child could ever recieve. I thank God for the responsibility to care for the orphans, the poor, the widows, and all who are deemed too difficult to be seen. The truth is that we are all orphans. We are all poor, blind, and without our own strength. What better way is there to demonstrate our wholehearted love for God than to love one another just as He loves us? Love first, love fully, and love regardless of the cost.
