Me: Y’all are an interesting bunch.

Prodigal: Don’t forget to look at the heart.

Me: That should be our focus.

This is from Pastor R. Kent Hughes

How did Christ accept you and me? He accepted us with our many sins, prejudices, and innumerable blind spots. He accepted us with our psychological shortcomings and cultural naivete. He accepted us with our provincialisms. He even accepted us with our stubbornness. This is how we are to accept one another.

There is someone who needs to feel accepted. They need to feel accepted by you and accepted by God. They need to feel the warmth of love from you. God will show you that person. Then take time to really pay attention. Take the time to make a difference in their lives.

Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

PSALM 98 : 5
