Ok so in my free time (Ha Ha Ha) I went through the Bible and looked up a bunch of scriptures on orphans, adoption and the fatherless and I copied down the verbs in the scriptures to get a list of what God wants and expects of us as his Adopted Children, in regards to orphans. Here is the list.... (This will really bless you! It blessed me!) preserveth, relieveth, show mercy, help, look after, let (them come), do not hinder, go to them, welcome, remember, love, give (food/drink,) invite (in),speak for, defend (used several times), receive in my name, treat fairly, rescue (several times used) feel pity, comfort, support, be patient with...
This is GODS heart toward orphans. "God sitteth the solitary in Families" PS 68:6
So IF you ever wondered IF you should adopt... God may be dealing with you.
My hearts cry is this....
"let us see your miracles again, let our children see your Glory at work, and may the Lord our Father show us his approval and make our efforts successful, yes, make our efforts successful" PS 90: 16-17
