I was reading in my One-Year Bible the other day, and this scripture totally jumped out at me. I know I've read it before, but I guess I hadn't paid attention to it until now. The Lord really spoke to me and made me realize that sometimes I compare myself to others and elevate myself. I, for some strange reason, think I'm better than others at times. Why? I don't know--it's quite ridiculous. I hate pride, and it's something I struggle with from time to time. God hates pride, too, and doesn't ever want us to think of ourselves as better than anyone!

My selection for today is from Romans 15:7

"Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory."

If Christ can accept me, with all of my many failures and weaknesses, I should ALWAYS be able to accept others!! God will be glorified when we can accept those around us and realize that Jesus loves them just as much as He loves us.

...and isn't that our goal as Christians--to live a life that brings glory to Christ?
