Years ago, my wife and I made the decision to adopt our sweet daughter Sadie. Sadie is now 9 years old, but I’ll never forget how she touched my heart when she was just a little baby. My wife and I went to Ethiopia to adopt Sadie, and I still remember walking into the room to see her for the first time. She was open and vulnerable to the harshness of life. But when I entered the room and picked her up in my arms, Sadie became mine. This is what God did for me, when I accepted Him into my heart as my personal Savior. God does this for everyone who opens their heart to Him. He says to us, “You are mine.” He offers us new life, peace, and security under His mighty hand.

The world is full of spiritual orphans, who do not yet know the truth of Jesus. And that is where you come in. As you share the Good News and tell others your testimony, more and more people have a chance to become children of God. Can you imagine how amazing it will be in Heaven someday, as one big family in Christ?

Begin by praying for the people you know who don’t yet know Jesus.  Keeping all this in mind will encourage you and make you bold in sharing your faith.
