Psalm 25:14-15 NIV
He confides in us and makes His covenant known to us? Even when we mess up and are so undeserving? Yes, my loving Father loves me enough to share His desires with me. This verse says I only have to fear Him and keep my eyes on Him. If there is anyone who is undeserving of His grace and mercy I would most definitely fit into that category. He has picked me up out of the mud and mire more times than I can count, and still, He loves me enough to share His heart with me.
Today, we learned that a childhood friend of my son's was tragically killed in an auto accident last night. My heart hurt when I heard those words from him and all I wanted to do as a mom was to make the pain go away. Oh, how my Father wants to provide our every need and heal our hurts more than we do for our children. I would ask you to keep this young family in your thoughts and prayers.
Why am I so passionate about orphan care and adoption? For one, I experienced God confiding in me 15 years ago as I longed for a little girl. I didn't do anything worthy of the gift He gave, but He made His covenant know to me because I was available. Nothing I did could make Him love me more, but by being available He poured out blessings that I could have missed out on had I not have been listening as He confided in David and I. Not only did He give us a gift we longed for, but He caused our cup to overflow years later with another adoption of our youngest daughter.
