" ACCEPTABILITY "

My Very Best To You,

Here we are again another week has come and gone and I've been impressed to share with you regarding " ACCEPTABILITY ". How many people do you know who just don't feel accepted for what ever reason. I've heard some say that life stinks and they just don't seem to fit in, while others fit in very well where ever they go. Could it just be a state of mind or knowing that you are a child of the King. It's very important that as Jesus we have compassion for all those we meet. It should break your heart when you run into someone who feels that nobody cares and who is in despair.

To be acceptable is to be capable or worthy of being accepted. Our Lord Jesus accepts you as you are, and it's crucial that you understand this fact. Jesus accepts you as you are is something that you may not have heard before nor understood. Readers, the good news about Jesus is that He comes to all, including the plain and the ordinary. If you are humble enough to accept Him into your life, you will truly become a new person in Him. He comes to anyone with a heart meek enough to accept Him. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can have the Lord in your life. Don't think for a moment that you need extraordinary qualifications - He accepts you as you are.

God offers Salvation to all people. Many people put off a decision for
Christ, thinking that there will be a better time - but they could easily miss their opportunity all together. Listen, there is no time like the present to receive God's forgiveness. I implore you not to allow anything to hold you back from coming to the Master. Folks we're not guaranteed five minutes from now.

God graciously accepts the despised, the outcast and the sinners who have turned to Him for forgiveness. Focus on God's gracious benefits to you, and be thankful for what you have. Are you hearing me ??? Those who honor God can be victorious regardless of the odds. We should always help the rejected feel accepted. Consider this, even though something is acceptable in today's time it might be wise to refuse participation. The fact that a custom is socially acceptable does not mean it is wise or right. You will be spared much heart break if you look at the potential consequences, to you or others, of your actions. Ask yourself if you are doing anything now that just might cause future problems. Please remember that what is socially acceptable is not always right.

Until next Time...
