Self-acceptance, like forgiveness, cannot be self-willed. We must go to God in humble skin to thank him for his blessings...whatever they may be. We can and will in God's good time be graced with the discovery that we have had the gift of self-acceptance within us all along.
The saddest thing is to be graced with self-acceptance and then to squander it on pride of self. Pride of self holds tight to our gift so others may admire and emulate...us.
God's gifts are freely given us but they require constant vigilance in order for us to keep them. Which we can only do by giving them away.
God in his goodness is really clever...and my ego Lucy still tries to get over on him. Which cracks God up.
Thank you.
