There's a deep yearning in every man to be loved and accepted. God wants us to accept others just as He has accepted us. When we treat others with love and compassion, it brings praises to God.
" Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. (Romans 15:17)
" having predestined us to adopted as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His glory" (Ephesians 1:5-7)
Do you know it delights the Father's heart when we show love to one another even when they do not deserve it?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I accept your gift of love and acceptance of me. Help me to love and accept others in Jesus Name.
