Foundation and Future...

Carol and I have been married for 23 years. When we were talking about marriage, we agreed that one day we wanted to have children. Today, we have three beautiful, amazing children! From the beginning, that was the plan. We have experienced good times, rough times, and challenging times. But you know what? We have no regrets. Life isn’t problem free, nor is it perfect. Things don’t always go as you planned. Our children don’t always do what we say. We have disagreements, and there are times we do our own thing. But make no mistake; our love for each other and our children is limitless and unconditional. It is no secret ... there is no end to this love.

The entire Bible from beginning to end is a story about God’s plan of building a family. It has always been His plan to adopt you into His family. This plan is the ultimate priority to God, and all this would be accomplished through Jesus Christ. God is full of so much love! He treasures relationships. This relational love is universal regardless of who you are, where you currently live on this planet, or your lifestyle. From the beginning, God has always wanted you in His family. The only way to accept this spiritual and relational closeness with God is through believing and accepting by faith in what Jesus Christ did for you 2000 years ago. No longer are you just a creation of God, but now you are a child of God and part of God’s global family.

I hope and pray this amazing truth marinates and is absorbed in your soul. You are part of God’s family because of Jesus Christ. God is proud of you. His love is unconditional, immoveable and limitless. Being included God’s family is the highest honor you will ever receive.
