ACCEPTANCE

DANIEL 9:9 (ABP)
Our GOD owns mercy and forgiveness.

LUKE 15:1 (CEB)
All the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around Jesus to listen to him.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Since God owns forgiveness sinners of all types can feel welcome in his presence.

PRAYER
God, I'm impressed by your ability to welcome those whose lives are contrary to who you are and what you're about. I know that not everything in my life lines up with your expectations. Help me to turn to you without hesitation. I know I can find genuine acceptance with you through the gateway Christ has opened for me. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
