Love and Accept

Whenever you cross my mind, I thank my God for you and for the gift of knowing you. 4 My spirit is lightened with joy whenever I pray for you (and I do constantly) 5 because you have partnered with me to spread the gospel since the first day I preached to you.

6 I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world. 7 It is only right that I should feel such admiration for you all—you hold me close to your hearts. And, since we are partners in this great work of grace, you have never failed to stand with me as I have defended and stood firm for the gospel—even from this prison cell. 8 Before God I want you to know how much I long to see you and love you with the affection of the Anointed One, Jesus.

“Our Mission is that EVERY STUDENT would feel LOVED and ACCEPTED as CHRIST LOVES AND ACCEPTS ALL OF US where we are, for who we are, but doesn’t leave us there. We exist to encourage, empower, equip, and energize the young people of this world to be a partner with God in transforming the world.”
 
I think and believe that Larissa believes that Ian is important and I believe that Ian feels the same for her. The way Larissa looks at Ian with abundant love and acceptance is how Christ looks at us. She doesn’t see anything else, She doesn’t look at his outside but at all times she loves and accepts him.
How are you in your life looking at people? Is it in line with how God looks at them?
Today commit to love and accept.
This simple choice can and does change and transform our world.
Amen.
