Scripture: He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will, to the praise of His glorious grace that He favored us with in the Beloved.
Observation: We have been chosen [selected as a kindness or favor] before hand to be adopted into Christ's family. We are chosen for God Himself. His grace [unmerited favor] has made us accepted in the Beloved, Jesus Christ.
Application: I am an adult adoptee. I know how much my parents love me as if I were of their own flesh. This helps me to know that the Father adopted me into His family with even greater love, the giving of His One and Only Son as a sacrifice for my sin.
Prayer: Father, help me to rest in your love and grace. When I am feeling unloved or unlovable, remind me of your great love for me in Christ. In Jesus name, amen.

I like how you wrote this! I agree with Tania and the use of the term Adult Adoption. Thanks for sharing!
