Acceptance that everyone is a mess,
that all have sinned and fallen short,
eliminates the idea that with someone else
we could be a better person,
or that
a different person would be better suited to us.
When our loved ones sin
against us
they need our prayers,
not our rejection.
Christ's way is to stand firm in love
even when we hurt Him,
and because the Holy Son of God has remained steadfast
for us,
we can participate in His faithfulness
and stay fully present in the
lives of those
He gives us to love.
~~~
Therefore,
accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given
glory.
Romans 15:7 NLT
--from day 42
