I AM ACCEPTED - Ephesians 1:6
"So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son."
DEVOTIONAL
Have you ever felt the weight of rejection? Maybe from a friend, a job opportunity, or even your own thoughts telling you that you’re not enough. The world often sets impossible standards—making acceptance feel conditional. But God’s acceptance is unshakable, unconditional, and unchanging.
Romans 15:7 reminds us to "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."
Ephesians 1:6 (NKJV) tells us, "To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." God’s love isn’t something we earn—it’s something He freely gives.
Even when we fall short, even when we doubt, even when we feel unworthy—God says, "You are mine." His acceptance isn’t based on our past, our performance, or our perfection. It’s based on His grace.
Psalm 27:10 states "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." No matter who has walked away, no matter what labels the world has placed on you, God’s arms remain open.
Today, step into the truth: You are accepted, just as you are.
