Today as I was leaving the office I was suddenly overcome with painful feelings of sadness and regrets about things that have happened in the past that have caused me emotional pain specifically linked to areas around family.
A few minutes into the moping though I caught my thoughts and realized that the devil was trying to attack my dream for adoption and that he wanted to destroy the seed that germinated before it could grow roots. Realizing what was happening I quickly took control of those feelings and reminded the devil that those things are in the past and that I am looking forward to the future and that he was not going to steal my dream. I know full well that this will be one of my biggest life challenges but I intend to plan it in detail.
I have mentioned it many times before that 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us that we need to caste down arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. So what is the knowledge of God that I have in my life around this decision to adopt? I know that it was a desire that God placed in my spirit when I was a young child and that this never left me and in my adult years the desire only grew stronger. I probably would have wanted to adopt whether I was married or not, so being single changes nothing.
Don't allow the devil to abort your dreams. Whatever your dream is, protect the seed that is in your spirit and nurture it. God will bring all things into maturity within His time.
