ACCEPTED

The last few days, I have been soaking in the truth that I am accepted. I hadn’t realized that scriptures actually tell us that Christ accepts us. I had read Romans 15:7 before, “Therefore, accept one another just as Christ accepts you,” and I had always focused on the first part accept one another but I hadn’t let the truth of the main point of that verse sink in: Christ accepts you.

CHRIST ACCEPTS ME!

I have been thinking about how much impact that one truth has on my life. Because Jesus Christ – the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, the Highest and Holiest One – accepts me, I do not have to be ashamed. I can face my weaknesses without fear and I can delight in my strengths without embarrassment. Because Christ accepts me, I do not have to hide anything or impress anyone. I do not have to be ashamed.
