Ever walk by the pet store in the mall? It's dangerous, right? Rachel and I once went into the pet store for fish food and almost came home with a dog, despite not really having the time or yard to care for a dog at all. It was so cute!!! To adopt a dog is to take it into your home and life despite not having to -- it's an active choice to transform the life of a dog.
God freely chooses to adopt us, even when we're in the midst of sin. So we're not as cute as puppies, but God takes us in anyway, choosing to love us, choosing to be for us, choosing to forgive us, and choosing to transform us. We don't even know the full glory of what we shall be transformed into, but we trust that it will be magnificent, because we place our trust in God.
