Believe it or not this poem was one of the hardest for me to write. It was actually supposed to be written a month ago. But I never really had the time to sit down and do it. With a lot of studying, looking up verses and putting in my own experiences I had finally come up with this poem. It’s about adoption. In it I’m comparing human adoption with God adopting us. With adopting it requires: sacrifice, a home, paper work, provision, teaching, leading and protection. God wants to meet us in these ways too. So do you accept it?
There is only one whose love is unconditional Psalm 193:15-16
Real and untraditional
He’s like a father who keeps us on track (Father) Hebrews 12:9
So our character isn’t lacked
His name protects us from all above (Guardian) Romans 8:38-39
Fearless and strong only because of love
Giving us plants, animals and seasons is how He provides Matt 6:26-34
Reassuring He’ll never leave our side Hebrews 13:5
He gave all that He could give Hebrews 10:14
So that we may live John 3:16-17
He prepared His heart and home to be shared John 14:2
Only because He really cared
It’s all permanent and signed Isaiah 49:13-18
You choose to be defined
You see God adopts us too
But its all up to you Ephesians 1:4-5
Romans 8:15
“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather the spirit you received brought your adoption to son ship and by Him we cry “Abba Father”
-Mihaela Chamberlain

Permanent and signed. I love that! He does really care — Isaiah 46:4 says, “I made you and I will care for you.” There’s an old hymn that says, “No one ever cared for me like Jesus…” It’s been a comfort to me so many times.

They say that all we need to do is ask, but even then, much to our surprise, he’s been there, holding us in His arms when we were the least aware of His grace

Adoption is a beautiful thing. Being able to give children the home that they need in order to grow, that’s not simple and it does require love and sacrifice, just like what these psalms say.
