Romans 15:7 - "Therefore accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory."
It is human nature to go through life seeking acceptance. We want acceptance from our parents, peers, partners/spouses, people we respect, and maybe from people we envy.
The drive for acceptance can influence the kind of clothes you wear, the kind of car you drive, the kind of house you buy and even the career you choose. Being accepted does tremendous things for our self-esteem.
Jesus accepts us just the way we are. It isn't based on past performances. You don't earn it or have to prove yourself to him.
The good news - God through Jesus Christ has already accepted you.
Remember God loves you and so do I.

Let Go!
Matthew 6: 27-34 - " . . . . .look at the lilies of the field and how they grow . . ." (verse 28)
Ann Landers said, "Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.
We often hear people say; "Let Go and Let God." We have to know when to let go, be willing and allow ourselves to let go. Then God can bring about the right outcome. Meister Eckhart said, "Let God be God in You."
Today in Spiritual Solutions, Rev. Alan A. Rowbotham shared excerpts from an article by the late Mary L. Kupferle, titled Let Go! Let God's Love Do the Work! She Wrote - Let go, dear friend, and let God's love do the work. Give up all striving and struggling to accomplish. Whatever has been difficult for you to handle, hard for you to release, or impossible for you to solve can be given to the loving Father. God's love will do the work and bring about the healing, the answer, the blessing you cannot accomplish of yourself. Let love - God's love - do the work!
Often times we become discouraged, impatient, and confounded trying to understand how this is happening. We need to trust God and not lean on our own understanding. Somehow, in some wonderful way, the love of God is continuously flowing into our minds, emotions, and body, touching all with life - giving power and renewal. We need to give that love an opportunity to work in our lives and our affairs. then we will find a new awareness of God's presence and new comprehension of God's spirit moving within you. Don't try to understand God's love, just accept it.
Jesus gave himself mentally, emotionally and physically to that same wonderful love and became the example of this love in action that overcame all our human limitations.
God's love is available to all of us. It will handle every challenge, every undesirable thought,every unwanted emotion, every binding habit.
"The love of God is greater than any opposition, any appearance of evil, and any claim of limitation. The love of God is your safety, your security, your guide, your comfort, your assurance, your clear vision, your accomplishment, your peace, and your light for every path of life." Mary L. Kupferie.
We will never understand why bad things happen to good people, but we can trust and have faith that God has a plan for each of us.
