Adopted

One of the greatest problems for this generation, and indeed one that has effected the entire human race is the division and fracture that sin has caused.

The ORPHAN spirit in these days runs deep in the heart. No sense of identity or purpose. NO HOPE.  A fatherless generation is a huge problem for our identity but the issue runs much deeper.

When sin entered the heart of man it disconected and broke us. It fractured the core of who we are and called to be. A seed was planted that spread decay and disease in the heart.
It initiated RESTLESSNESS and double minded fear was set in motion. Division in the heart established a struggle.  Even the Apostle Paul expressed this in Romans 7. Here he cried out to be delivered.

The SOLUTION was TO BE ADOPTED (Romans 8:15) whereby we cry out for a new Father in a new relationship.  We have been grafted in to the vine.

Only IN CHRIST do we have this stability and security.

SO NOW WE HAVE A HOPE.

To say that we are so broken and had a terrible start in life doesn't have to be the only side of the story.  It may well be true BUT doesn’t have to be the whole story. But it is a choice and to that we say "we have no choice", BUT he bore our GRIEF!

IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON...he gave us,who were poor and weak and insecure, His security and stability and HOPE. But it is a choice. Is our identity and self esteem in being broken. Our hearts have been crushed and our hope deferred but surely He gave us a new heart.

When there is a problem it is always at our end of the bargain ...He did His bit.
