Psalm 68:6a God places the lonely in families; He sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.

James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

One thing that every adoptive person knows is that someone chose them. The very act of adoption requires that someone chose you.

One of the greatest things about God is that He chose you for salvation and adoption into His family.

Ephesians 1:5 God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure.

The good news is when you seek God, you will find God.

Jeremiah 29:13-14a 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord.

Psalm 70:4 But may all who search for You be filled with joy and gladness in You. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

The God you are searching for is actually searching for you.

Ezekiel 34:16a I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and I will bring them safely home again. I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak.

Luke 15: 4-7 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
