Throughout this adoption process, God has been teaching us about the similarities between God's adoption of His children- and our adoption of little Elsa Mei.
Elsa's birthday happened to fall on Easter this year.
Elsa turned 2 on Sunday.
And, it was about 2,000 years ago that our Savior adopted us.
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, by grace you have been saved..."
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ..."
"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God."
"that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints."
-passages taken from Ephesians 1 & 2
God makes things beautiful.
