Beloved–

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. (from Ephesiains) 

As a young child of 5 or 6, having heard of the concept of adoption, I could see my sister’s resemblance to my parents but not my own features.  So, naturally, I assumed I was adopted. I finally asked my mother why I looked different than my sister.  She explained that I looked like her side of the family and my sister looked like my father’s side of the family, and that we were all different but we all belonged to each other.  I pray for you to know that God loved you before he made the world and chose to adopt you and me into his family.  We are all different but we all belong to each other.

Luv Ya!
