I guess most of us are familiar with this word…but are we familiar with it’s meaning….it means that you perceive reality accurately and consciously acknowledge it.

Sounding really simple n obvious… isn’t it? But in practice it is very difficult because we are not ready to accept the reality. What are we afraid of? What is it we can’t accept? Even God will not answer you if you don’t accept what it is you are praying for…Accepting means, to admit, to face the truth, to acknowledge and to actually perceive and accept our present situation.

Accept your tears.

 
Accept your love.

 
Accept your happiness.

 
Accept your problems

 
Accept your challenges.

 
Accept your weaknesses.

 
Accept your strengths.

Acceptance helps in recognizing an existing problem that needs to be solved. It denotes a kind of confidence. We feel afraid of accepting because we believe that it will crush us into pieces…but acceptance says it is alright….you will not vanish completely… you’ll exist in pieces and can still pick them and combine into a stronger whole.

We can’t change the things….though good or bad that may have happened to us in past. But only after we accept our past, we will be able to say that it has no control over our present. Bitter memories haunt us like ghosts….we cannot run away from them…but we can confine them to the past they belong.

To RESIST is to WASTE your precious energy fighting an important battle. Instead one must surrender that battle so that the next battles can be won.

Accept your grief today, and then accept God’s love and healing for you.
