7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. (Romans 15:7 NIV)

It may not always be easy to accept others as they are.

We want people to conform to the way we think they should be. We see them through our, possibly, limited view and with our personal misconceptions.

But when we strive to view others through God’s lense, suddenly they are transformed into someone to be loved.

We need to reach out to others who may be very different from us, accept them as they are, and show them God’s love.
