Victorious Hope

There is an orphan by the name of Nikolay; he lives in an orphanage in eastern Europe. He has just turned three.     There was a family who fell in love, they pursued his adoption.  Today Nikolay is back on the waiting list - waiting for a family. His third birthday is passing without a family, the family is sad but trusts God's plan, HIS plan to prosper and not to harm either them or Nikolay. They are still hoping-hoping in things not seen... The name Nikolay means 'Victorious People'     As Christians who believe in the one true God who is living and active, We have hope, hope in the unseen things; we have faith in the all powerful, all loving God; In Christ we can do all things, in Christ we are a Victorious People.

I believe that Jesus Christ has ultimate power and authority. HE has the authority over this adoption, HIS heart is for the fatherless; in HIM alone is the victory, HE has HIS plan and HE will see HIS plan to completion.                              

                                                                  1 John 5:4 
                               For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.                                                  

                               And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith.

(update: Nikolay has a family who are going to adopt him and a little girl from his orphanage.)

Adoption

I came across a quote today that says...
 "adopting a child won't change the world, but for that child, the world will change."

God does not call you to do things that are not possible, through Him all things are possible.  You might think that, that "how will it even make a difference in the whole scheme of things? it is just one child!"   Yes!!! it is one child!  alleluia! one child will find love, their heavenly father!
"adopting a child will not change the world, but for that child the whole world will change."

The Fatherless

The Fatherless.                   

God talks a lot about the Fatherless and it is evident that He has a heart for the orphan.                                                                                      
                                                             Psalm 68:5
            A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
                                                               
                                                             JAMES 1:27

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.  

pray that one child may find joy today, pray that one child would receive necessary medical care, that one child may find a family, be saved from the streets, be shown love, come to know their Savior, that one child may understand that they are valued by God... the list could go on and on.   Pray that one fatherless child will realize that fatherless they are no more.
