CHILD OF GOD

Child of God Child of God Child of God Child of God I have dear friends who've adopted children And they said the hardest part was filling out (child of God) The questionnaire asking you What kind of challenges you're willing to live with What kind of disabilities (child of God), as the world would call them You're okay with in a child that you're going to adopt? Like are you (child of God) okay if they can't walk, if they're paralyzed If they're in a wheelchair, and you've got to push them? Are you okay if they can't eat and they have a feeding tube? Are you okay if they have some mental disabilities They're not able to learn, or they (child of God) lack in cognitive functions Their brain's not working as, uh, a normal brain would? Are those things (child of God) that you're alright with? And you think, "Man, if I don't choose that child, who will? (Child of God) If I say, I'm not okay with that Then what's going to happen to that person, that living being?" What I love when I'm thinking about God adopting us is that He says "I'll take that one (child of God), I'll take the one that's stuck in pornography Like a dog to his vomit (child of God), he keeps going back to his sin I'll take her when she's starving herself I'll take the one who looks in the mirror (child of God) And hates what she sees I'll take the person who sits with the razor blade cutting their arm I'll take the one who, who constantly thinks of themselves Walks into a room and wonders What everybody is saying about them Or thinking about them (child of God) They're enslaved to their insecurity" And the list goes on and on and on and on There's no disqualifying (child of God) disability that the Lord turns away There's no one (child of God) that God says "Oh, they're too far gone, I can't save them Jesus' blood is not enough, that He didn't die for them" Anyone who would trust in the death (child of God) and the resurrection Of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins Can be adopted as God's (child of God) children We can be His kids, not His slaves, not His workers (child of God) Not people who are trying to earn our allowance Not someone who's trying to earn a wage But women and men (child of God) Who have been adopted by the creator of the heavens and the Earth To be His children (child of God), to call Him, "Abba, Father" Child of God Child of God
