I remember when the movie Aladdin came out. That was a great movie. It had everything...good, bad, tigers, parrots, Robin Williams, etc. It had a great song too. A Whole New World, they sang it on the magic carpet ride. Anyway, as my wife and I wade through the adoption process a whole new world has been opened up to me. I big, beautiful, incredible world. I wrote in an earlier post about how the adoption process has helped me realize how incredible God is to "adopt" us into His family.
In our home study interview my wife and I were asked how we planned on dealing with some of the issues we could face with our adopted child(ren). Since they will be coming to a whole new world pretty much. After we answered, I began to think how this process really does resemble and sinner's adoption into the Kingdom of God. How it really is a whole new world we are entering into.
The word that keeps coming to mind is grace. The grace of God that is so prevalent as we work through our attachment issues, our need cycles, our insecurities. Just like my child(ren) will do with their new family.
Its amazing what God does for us. I am thrilled not only to be adopting my new child(ren) into the family, but to have more new worlds opened to me that reveal the depth, the height, weight, and the beauty of the Father's love for me.
