It is wonderful when a philanthropist with piles of money decides to build an orphanage for homeless children. But it is even more exciting when someone decides to adopt one of those orphans as their own. The orphan is excited about having a new building to live in, but how much more excited they must be to know that someone actually wants them to be in their family. God didn’t just give us a wonderful place to live in someday, He gave His only Son to pay for our adoption into His forever family. Heaven is not just where we will live; heaven will be our forever home with our heavenly Father! Jesus said in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God didn’t just love us, He wanted us to live with Him in heaven, and Jesus did what it took to give us the opportunity to be with Him as part of His forever family! I love my heavenly Father, don’t you?
