in families.

Isaiah 1:17
For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords.
He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and

did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it
to me!
Matthew 25:40
When thou cuttest
down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou
shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the
work of thine hands.
Deut. 24:19
What will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer
when called to account?
Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the
same one form us both within our mothers?
If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of
the widow grow weary, if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with
the fatherless-- but from my youth I
reared him(the orphan) as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow—
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or a
needy man without a garment, and his heart did not bless me for warming him
with the fleece from my sheep, if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
knowing that I had influence in court, then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.
For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his
splendor I could not do such things.
Job 31:15-23
Whoever receives one such
child in my name receives me.
Matt. 18:5
And not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God
who are scattered abroad.
John 11:52 (Speaking of the purpose of Jesus’s love was not
made just for one nation, but for all just as God's purposes are not only for one nation, but to help those all over the world!)
For my father and my mother have forsaken
me,
but the Lord will take
me in.
Psalm 27:10
For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of
bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry
out, "Abba, Father."

But when the fullness of the time
had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to
redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as
sons.
