Adoption Video





I came across this video a couple of weeks ago. It moved me to tears. I keep thinking how much I would like to show it at church sometime. It speaks to how important it is that we as the bride of Christ, who have been adopted into His family, should be on the forefront of adopting orphans. Why should we not do what God has already done for us? I know that not all of us can physically bring a child into our homes as one of our own children, but certainly all of us can give out of the abundance that God has given us so that those who can and want to bring a precious child into their home can do so. I hope that all of you will watch and pray for God to move in the hearts of His people.

Amen.

Praying people see that each and every one of us can make a difference in a child's life. We need to step out in faith and do what the Lord is asking us to do.
