Acceptance


Rom 5:7

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of UNITY among youselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may gloify the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ has accepted you, in order to bring praise to God....."

This is what stood out for me this morning during my devotion time. These days the time for devotions feels brief as the interruptions are constant. But even brief they can fill your day. Brighten your day and help you to feel motivated. I was reminded this morning that its okay to think differently from one another, that believers do not always come to the same conclusions but to accept one another in HIM. I so easily fall into the trap of wanting validation for the decisions that we make, in parenting, in lifestyles and in friendships. To always be agreed with feels "good", but to have unity with one another despite differences in opinions, is a blessing, something to strive for.

That's about as deep as I can go on little sleep:) Happy Friday!
