Quotes about Acceptance

Until then I'm going to relax and enjoy my life." First the Weed, Then the Harvest

When we make mistakes, God doesn't change His mind about us. If you run away from God, instead of turning the other way, God will come running toward you. Quit trying to earn His love. There's nothing you can do to make God love you any more or any less. It's a gift. Just receive it by faith.

God loves you right now. He loved you when you were doing wrong. He loved you when you were off course. The apostle Paul says that nothing can separate us from the love of God. You are a marked man, a marked woman. God put His love on you. Now you are permanently loved.

Release control. Quit worrying, quit trying to make it happen your way and say, "God, I trust You. I know You're in control of these winds. They can push me forward, backward, left, right, but one thing I'm certain of: where You take me is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
