Loving Father, who loves us regardless of our faults, give us grateful hearts, that we would overflow with wonder and joy at your willingness to adopt us as your own and take us in as your children, through Jesus our brother, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect unity, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.’ – Rom. 8:15-16
