Christ Accepted Us

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. — Romans 15:10

My brother-in-law Kelly and his wife Liz have been working on their front yard landscape.

It looks wonderful! What a beautiful design they've created with the rocks and plants.

God has also created a wonderful design in each person.

And He asks us to accept each person as a child of his.

That's not always easy when we have conflict and pain and miscommunication.

But God calls us to love others through Him, just as He shows love to each of us — completely undeserving.

Help me this week to be kind and compassionate to others, Lord, in the same way that you've shown mercy and love to me.
