...Depraved

Eric Ludy: Depraved Indifference.....wow.  This pretty much sums up God's calling on our life for adoption.  He chose US to help one of His children.  What a privilege, what an honor, what an amazing God we serve.  And,  yes, how scary!  It's not always (or EVER!) easy to follow God when we don't know the full plan, but how can we say "no", or even say "not yet", to our GOD?  I've come to learn that adoption not just about a child, or about parents.  Adoption is about God, his heart for the fatherless.  It's about God's redemption of each one of us, through the perfect sacrifice of His son.  Adoption is also not FOR children, or FOR parents.  Adoption is FOR EVERYONE!  God calls each one of us to "take up the cause of the fatherless" (Isaiah 1:17).  God may not be asking you to adopt, or be a foster parent, but he may be asking you to help someone else overcome the immence obstacles of adoption.  At the very least, He is asking you to pray.  Pray for the fatherless.  Pray for adoptive families.  Pray that He will show you exactly how you are to be involved in the "cause of the fatherless".
