Being Accepted

   Seeking and receiving the acceptance of the Lord will lead to the knowledge that we are chosen and blessed by him.

   The Feeling of being accepted by someone we love is a basic human need. Being Accepted by good people motivates us. It increases our sense of self worth and self confidence. Those who cannot find acceptance from desirable sources often seek it elsewhere. They may look to people who are not interested in their well being.They may attach themselves to false friends and do questionable things to try to receive the acknowledgement they are seeking. We sometimes seek recognition and acceptance by wearing a particular brand of clothing to begin a feeling of belonging or status. Some people strive for a role or position of prominence to bring acceptance.

   The Ultimate source of empowerment and Lasting acceptance is our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. They know us and they love us.  They do not accept us because what we have or what we've done. They don't look for our appearance or our current status. They look into our hearts. They accept us for who we are and what we are striving to become. Seeking the acceptance of the Lord will always motivate,encourage and lift you.

   We will come to know that we are accepted of him, regardless of our position, status, or any mortal limitations. His loving Acceptance will motivate you, increase your faith and help you deal with your everyday trials tribulations. We will feel at peace as we seek to obey the Lords commandments and feel his acceptance for us. With all my will, I invite all to prayer and seek the acceptance of the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
