| Publisher Description: This book is based on the true story of a precious little girl who was without love and without the knowledge of God, in an orphanage far, far away. God loved her with an everlasting love, because He is love, and He is the Father of the fatherless. He moved heaven and earth to bring her the love, hope, and joy she had never known, while at the same time answering the prayers of a young Christian couple, who was willing to do God's will and go to the ends of the earth to rescue a hurting child. Because of God's love and their obedience to His will, this precious little girl was lovingly saved and adopted into their Christian home, and it changed her life, and theirs, forever. Adoption is all of our story, because through what Jesus did for us on the cross, God, the King and Creator of the universe, adopts us into His family as His own beloved children, making us heavenly royalty--heirs of God and co-heirs with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:17)Just as this precious child had the choice to stay in her hopeless existence, or be loved and adored beyond her wildest dreams, we also must decide if we will accept Him as our Father. If we will, we become sons and daughters of the Most High God, being born again from a sad, hopeless life of being spiritually separated from God with a sinful nature, and never knowing or fulfilling our purpose as human beings--to being born again spiritually into eternal life, with God's plans and His purposes and His love and His blessings poured out on our lives. With that choice, we receive the gift of eternal life and receive the very nature of God, our Father. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)This book was written by the adoptive mother of this precious child, and illustrated by the little girl's Nana, because there is a hope and a future in God our Father, and if we will let Him, He will adopt us as His beloved children and guide our steps--even to the point of changing someone else's life forever. |
