Acceptance

I'm really quite upset at the lack of acceptance of others I've experienced in recent days!

We're all either stronger or weaker brothers and sisters and so Paul says in Romans 15 'Accept one another then, just as Christ accepted you'.

We judge so easily... looking down on others is such a reflex action! And its devastating to the body of Christ! I pray for myself and these others that God will make acceptance our first reflex. Only in that context can useful pastoral care happen anyway!

2 things.
1. I need to accept these people
2. I want to preach a series at the start of 2011 on the glory of grace.
