When I had my first baby people would say "Oh he looks like his dad or your granma or maybe even a distant relative whom I may have never met.
We try very hard to make sure we fit that new baby somewhere in the inheritance line of genetics and family ties.
Yet Jesus shows us a different way, a new ay to look at a family unit and it is without any human effort or blood.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become children of God, EVEN to them that believe on His name.
Which were born,not of blood,nor of the will of the flesh,nor of the will of man, BUT OF GOD!!!!!! John 1:12,13
So we see that we do not look at a person in God's family by appearance,character or genetic dispositions.
And God does not either.
We are ALL made in His image and likeness(Genesis 1:27)
God instead is looking for those who have received His Son, whom He sent to us in His great mercy and love, to be His children,now and forever.
He gave us a deposit,if we understand that,which is the Holy Spirit,and, this is the bond which unites us all in His name.
Every single person who has accepted Jesus as God's Son and believes God has raised Him from the dead,is God's child and receives the Holy Spirit to guide he or she in all things of God.
If you an adopted child, foster, or had parents who just did not care for you properly,abused you or seemed distant, be comforted and assured that our heavenly Father loves you NO MATTER WHAT.
He has prepared a place for you in His kingdom and desires to bless you with all you need on this earth.
