"Oh Lord, all that we have in body and in soul, within or without, naturally or supernaturally, are Your benefits, and openly show you from whom we have received such gifts to be a blessed and good benefactor." ~ Thomas a’Kempis

“Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers; higher even than justification. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is a greater [thing].” ~ J.I. Packer
