Accept and Embrace

There’s no guarantee that someone is going to stay with us, whether or not we’re going to be cherished for a lifetime by someone who means the world to us.  Accept and embrace a goodbye-it just might be the right and best thing for us even though it feels like hell at the time, the worst that we think could ever happen to us.

There’s no guarantee that we’re going to be heard, embraced for the right reasons, respected and given space to our own thoughts, feelings, and actions.  It’s an imperfect world.  Accept and embrace imperfection.

Bad news, sometimes tragic news, is hurriedly brought our way whether or not we’re ready to hear the latest.  There might come a time when we are purposely withheld information…  We cannot control or prevent something already out of our hands.  Embrace and accept…  we’ve got to.  Why not?

Embrace and accept being turned against, having your reputation smeared based on lies said about you.  What can you do, now?-embrace and accept, because no matter how strongly you voice your own defense, your hole gets deeper that was dug for you when you had no idea the shovels were at work on your behalf.  Time passes even though some things are never forgotten.  Live in the truth of knowing that there will always be lies said about you, so accept the hatred of people’s words, and embrace starting from where you begin again.

Something of value was taken from you and it cannot be returned.  Accept and embrace, even the blood ties that were cut like a sharp knife.

Accept and embrace the fact that no matter how good with all your heart you can be to someone, your sincerity and love can still be trodden down in rough ground by heavy hooves.  Realize that some people don’t accept goodness from others because they don’t know how to give it, themselves.

Accept and embrace that you have ambitions that others may not appreciate or see as useful and worthy.  Accept and embrace, regardless-it’s the peace you’ve got to live with inside yourself, not in them.

Embrace and accept God’s mercies, His Grace that is sufficient for the day, for the remainder of a lifetime, for thereafter…  It is by Him and through Him that we live, breathe, and die to live again.

Accept and embrace.
