"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." Romans 15:7
For those of you joining our Weekly Words to Live By word journey at https://www.facebook.com/
Have you noticed that each word of the week builds upon the one preceding it and prepares us for the one ahead? First, there was LISTEN, which made us pay attention to what the Father was trying to tell us. Then, CHOOSE, which means we decide what we do, think, or BELIEVE based on what or whom we've listened to. What we BELIEVE helps solidify our faith in order to WAIT on Him to act on our behalf, ACCEPTing the fact that He knows best and his timing is perfect.
You get the picture.
This week's word is ACCEPT and i know i'm going to be doing some soul-searching as i seek to activate that word in my life (See Words to Live By, pages 25-30).
The opening page of that section in the book is already working on me: "...Practicing acceptance in our lives, acceptance of others, of situations, and of God's grace in every relationship and situation, creates a foundation for a happy, peaceful life."
This week, may our hearts, our homes, and our workplaces be happy and peaceful as we accept with joy that --
we are loved and chosen by God.
Now may we live like we believe it!
