Adoption - Christian Poem | Robert Wayne Atkins, P.E.

The moment you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior,
the Holy Spirit enters your heart and you will live forever.

God will adopt you into His Family and Jesus will be your Brother,
and all your prayers will instantly be heard by your Holy Father.

While your body and spirit walk this earth and here you do reside,
you can be certain that God will always be right by your side.

You will go to heaven when your body and spirit temporarily separate,
and you will meet Jesus your Brother when you enter heaven's gate.
