ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance

IT is a wonderful thing

Do you ACCEPT

The presence of God

In your life

Accept God

Accept your family and friends

And MOST importantly

Accept yourself        (weaknesses and all)

“Accept one another-then-

Just as Christ accepted you

In order to BRING PRAISE to God”                         Romans 15:7

Accept others

As Christ has accepted you

And ACCEPT GOD’S WORD

For we know

God’s word

IS the eternal truth

FOR GOD CANNOT LIE

“Because God wanted to make

The UNCHANGING nature of his purpose

VERY CLEAR

To the heirs

Of what was promised

He confirmed it with an OATH

God did this

So that by the TWO unchangeable things

In which it is IMPOSSIBLE

FOR GOD TO LIE

We who have fled

To take hold of the HOPE

Offered to us

May be GREATLY encouraged”                                Hebrews 6:17-18

And his purpose

Is very clear

That is:  HE LOVES US

For ourselves

Weaknesses and all

ACCEPTANCE by God

Is a wonderful thing

And if God

OUR maker and creator

ACCEPTS us

For who are we

Not to accept ourselves

Would be wrong

For he GAVE us

HIS very own self

For you and for me

FOR ALL of us

He accepted us

It was us

Who did not accept him

“I tell you the truth,” he continued

No prophet is accepted in his own time”                      Luke 4:24

Dear Friends

Let us not

Make the same mistake

ACCEPT GOD

ACCEPT EACH OTHER

And accept yourself

For acceptance

IS A WONDERFUL THING
