The “Orphan Mindset” happens when an adopted child lives as if abandoned despite being surrounded by security and love. This is often demonstrated in hording provisions to give the illusion of control. Biblically, adoption is an act of God’s grace where we are received and have all the privileges as children in the family of God. In short, spiritual growth is moving from and orphan mindset to trusting the adoption promised in Christ.”
Gone. Gone. Gone.
A threat evaporated and whist beyond.
No more guarded glances or last scraps guessing if cold and hunger might hush.
This home is quiet. The walls clean and fortified with kindness.
Her smile is framed on the mantle and the scent of rosemary warms the air: a promise of love.
But something inside her whispered, “don’t trust this”.
-B.Oaks
“be strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness, joyfully giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for all things in heaven and on earth were created in him—all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers—all things were created through him and for him. He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him. He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds, but now he has reconciled you by his physical body through death to present you holy, without blemish, and blameless before him”
