I think I can honestly say that when we began the adoption process, one of our primary motivations was to be parents. Since then, our hearts have been broken over poverty and desperation, over the vast number of children in need of mommies and daddies, and how much the Lord has given us to be able to help with. It's also been incredible to understand more clearly how the Lord has adopted us into His family. Physical adoption is a beautiful picture of what the Lord has done spiritually in our lives as believers in Christ.
I've watched this video on repeat a few times to soak in what John Piper is saying. Adoption is greater than the universe. Think that's an overstatement? Take a listen and find out...
