Lent 2014, Day 36: One of His Own

Yesterday's post made me think of the adoptive aspect of God's grace. He doesn't just adopt us to put us to work or boast about the population of His kingdom. No He adopts us as one of His children - He so longed for us that He made a way for us to be called His, to be true princes and princesses in His everlasting kingdom! And our inheritance is not only eternal, but present now, not only the power and authority of heaven, but a boundless love and connection to the creator of the universe! We can come boldly before the throne, as Esther did, knowing the kind is waiting to grant our desires, desires He placed within us - what an awesome gift of grace He has given us!!
