Well if there is one thing this adoption has shown me about myself it is how "Adam-like" I am (no offence to all you Adams out there). I am disappointed in the strong pull of my sin nature...how easily I can resent an intrusion into my comfortable, predictable life...how I cling to my paltry routines and my "freedoms"...how insulated I have become from a world where things like hunger, toothaches, and want are the norm. But now right here in our home is a living, breathing, precious reminder that my world was becoming way too small.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling. Do not spare. Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes." (Isaiah 54:2)
Yes, Lord - enlarge my tent.
And my mind.
And my heart.
