Acceptance DSRWJ Day 2

      Proverbs 19:8 to get wisdom is to love oneself, to keep understanding is to prosper.

     Jesus accepted everyone while  he was walking this earth. We should follow in Jesus' footsteps.
     Our verse tells us today that, if you can accept yourself, you will be more able to accept the idiosyncrasies of others. If you are patient with your self, you will almost certainly be more tolerant toward your loved ones. If you can forgive yourself, you can forgive others. Acceptance gradually becomes a way of life.
     How many times was the mention of yourself listed above? Three times. Acceptance must first start with you accepting yourself.
     Lets look at what accept means. Accept means, recognize as true or believe. I was always taught that you must first accept Jesus in your life, before you can start accepting yourself and others. It's important that we accept God.
     If we accept God in our life, then others will see God is in our life. Then maybe others will accept God to. We as Christians are not supposed to want to be accepted by anyone but God. God accepts you scars and all.
     Once you realize that, then you can start accepting yourself as God sees you. Perfect with flaws.
