Jesus & Adoption

Many of us come from broken homes. Sometimes that’s divorce, sometimes it’s worse but not as tangible. As a result, we sometimes feel like there’s a lid on our life because of our last name. Or maybe we feel like failures because our best efforts to do it differently have fallen short. We’re frustrated, embarrassed, nervous, stuck and exhausted. But we don’t need to keep striving; we’ve been given a free invitation to adoption and an entirely new bloodline. We can stop running. We can stop burying. We can step into the light all bumped, bruised and broken. He wants us. He likes us. He cherishes us.
