Ephesians 1:5-6 NIV? [5] he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. An, orphan being tossed around. How, did my ears not hear the sounds. My, eyes I plea how could thy not see. Leading, me into captivity, Of, my soul longing to be set free. These, feet leading me into darkness of the night. As, if there was no source of light. Oh, these hands trying to build on my own. As, if I was a farmer that could reap a sown. I would hear the harvest is here. But, how could this world teach me not to fear. Giving, up by the division and hate. Left to wander where are those which, Seek , the narrow path of the Living gate. One, night alone while opening up God's word. Seeking, not what I had learned from my herd. God, heard my humble cry and breathed in life. In this dead body that was lost in strife. This, feeling of finding a new home. While, being purified to longer roam. Giving, up my mankind foolish ownership. Seeking, the likeness of this new Kinship. To receive adoption into God's sonship.

From being orphans, we are adopted into sonship! What elevated status is granted to us even without our asking for it. God is so magnanimous. May His name be glorified in Heaven and on Earth! Beautiful poem dear Stephan. Thanks a lot!
