Verses to Ponder

These are some verses I've been thinking on lately and I can't help thinking of them in relation to our adoption... Thought I'd share:

“...'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" Matthew 25:40

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." Proverbs 31:8

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Colossians 4:2

"He must become greater, I must become less." John 3:30

"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'" Hebrews 13:5-6

 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5

⁸ "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will." Ephesians 1:4-5
