For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!
Romans 8:15
Spending time with the precious orphans this summer gives a whole new appreciation for this verse. It came up in Bible study tonight and made me smile. This verse came up frequently while we were in China. It is so amazing to think that God has adopted me as his own and now I am a co-heir with Christ! It is so comforting to think that I can cry out Abba Father and I don't have to fear. I have been rescued from a life of hopelessness. My Father has me in his hands! It also gives me comfort when I think of those dear kids. There is a father to the fatherless!
