Adoption

Elijah took to the water like a fish. He was very comfortable.

Judah not as much. He was terrified. After several days he is getting more comfortable. He said Papa, if I sink I will get died. I said you have a life vest, a separate floating device and me, a former ocean lifeguard. I think that should cover it.

Noah and Izzy, eating and relaxing.

Ephesians 1:5 (NASB) He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will.

Do you know Jesus Christ? not do you know of Him or heard about Him in Sunday School when you were little. Have you entered into a relationship with Him? Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with, and he with Me." This means to open the door of your heart from the inside and ask him to come in. If you have done this with Jesus Christ (John 14:6 Jesus said to him "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.") you have been adopted as sons. Hallelujah, praise the Holy one of Israel. Adoption is a beautiful thing any way you slice it and something that beautiful can only come from God. James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. AMEN.

Now lets look at if you don't know Him in a personal way. 1st John 5:12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

Like Judah said at the top of this post, you will get died. Revelation 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. My friend don't let this be you. Repent and turn from your sins today and embrace the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Pray with me the prayer at the top right hand corner of this post. YOU ARE LOVED.

OK, the top picture, Elijah Schneider loves that car. His little feet are the engine, but he makes it go wherever he wants it to.

The middle picture, Izzy and Lilah got into my shaving cream again. Full body coverage.

The bottom picture: Judah Changlais and Noah just chillin.

Isaiah 45:8 (NASB) Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds pour down righteousness; let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, and righteousness spring up with it. I, the Lord, have created it.

Isaiah 45:22,23 (NASB) Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. 23) I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.

All glory and honor to you Lord Jesus, who sits on His throne and reigns from on high. You are lofty and matchless. Draw me closer to you, draw me closer to You.
