“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1
This verse focuses on the gift of being called God’s children. John emphasizes that our relationship with God is not based on what we have earned, but on the overwhelming love He chooses to give.
For adoptive families, this verse is meaningful because it highlights the heart of adoption: love that chooses, welcomes, and gives identity. A child is not simply placed in a home—they are embraced as family. In the same way, Scripture describes God’s love as bringing people into His family and giving them a new identity as His children.
Open your heart. Open your home. Open the door. 🕊️
