Romans 9:16 “It does not, therefore, depend on human desire, but on God’s mercy.” You and I, as chosen children of God, have to be as appreciative as appreciation gets.  God has adopted you.  God has adopted me.  There is not a greater honor anyone can realize.  A lot of fanfare was recently displayed in England.  That celebration is nothing compared to the honor God has given each of us by adopting each of us as His dear child.  Always live your life giving Him glory and showing genuine appreciation.
