Acceptance

Jesus calls us to love and to accept no matter how different people are or how different their beliefs are from ours. He wants us to be a light in this dark world. To reach those who are difficult to love, to accept those who are different, to lay aside our desires and put others first. Those who are strong, are so because God has allowed them to be for a reason. Let us love the weak and accept them as Jesus accepts us. Show grace because we were first shown grace. Let us invite those who are weak to eat with us around our table. To share the love of Jesus, letting our lights shine bright.

I confess...I have not loved or accepted the way Jesus has called me to. Ashamed, I come before the throne of grace, thankful for the one who gives freely.
