Everybody longs to be accepted by others. Teenagers long to have their peers accept them. Wives and husbands want to be accepted by one another. Students want to be accepted by their teachers. Employees want to be accepted by their employers. The word "accept" means to receive with favor.
I know the pain of not being accepted. I was rejected by My the people in My hometown. I was rejected by most of the religous leaders of My day. I was even not accepted by My own brothers. I was despised and rejected by men.
Because you did not reject My invitation to accept Me as your Savior, you never need to feel unaccepted again. You are now accepted by My heavenly Father. When He sees you, He sees Me within you and I have always been pleasing in His sight. You are accepted in the Beloved. I redeemed you from rejection. Today, hold your head up high because you have the favor of the Creator of the whole universe.
