Accept Yourself

Anonymous. True self-acceptance is something that comes from placing ourselves in the Presence of God. For God knows full well the truth about us and our state. When we discover that our state is lowly indeed, that we are needy, not strong, it is then we know Who God is. Then, yes, we can accept ourselves, since we know that He accepts us and loves us not for any virtue of our own, but because He made us, redeemed us and loves us.
