I have loved this song since the first time that I heard it, but until today I had not seen the video. Make sure to watch it all the way to the end of the video as that is the best part!!  We are all adopted by God.  This reality has changed everything in my life and it is the reason that I can stand here today and fight to bring home my son who will be born on the other side of the world.  For the last year I have been praying that God would break my heart for what breaks His.  God calls us to be His hands and feet on this earth and to love as He has loved us.  I believe that adoption is a huge part of this.  If you have been thinking about adoption I encourage you to move forward.  Research adoption agencies, request information packets, attend a seminar...but start the process.
