The answer is that you absolutely matter to God! We can't pick the family we are born in to, but there has never been an "accidental" adoption. You are chosen to be adopted, and that is what God is doing.
“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” (Ephesians 1:5 NLT)
We get to call God Father. “The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” (Romans 8:15)
How do we know for certain you’ve been adopted?
“You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son into our lives crying out, "Papa! Father!" Doesn't that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child?” (Galatians 4:5–7 MSG)
Thank God today for His grace and lovingly adopting you in to His family.
