Adoption
Yesterday I was reflecting on the joy I feel when I see my sister receiving the full benefits of family, especially two loving parents, and it’s crazy to think that Christ has that kind of affection for us as the Son of God.
I know yesterday’s message was about the Father, but being a biological son, I was reminded of the unique yet imperfect insight I have into the heart of Christ. There really is an overwhelming happiness to see someone who was once estranged from parental love experiencing it naturally and deeply in your own home. There are no traces of conditional love because Katie is not my parent’s flesh and blood, but instead she has every privilege and care that I received as a child (maybe even more). It is really hard to put into words.
I know I am not Jesus … but somehow I can begin to imagine that this picture my dad put up on Facebook yesterday is somewhat representative of my Spiritual life.
She is growing up fast. I want to go home.
