Romans 15:7 NIV – Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Do you include others or do you tend to exclude? According to the dictionary, include is to comprise or contain as part of a whole. In reading today’s key verse, how does including others bring praise to God? 

God has accepted us and made us whole. He has included us from creation to relationship. By including others we are putting action into acceptance. We are making something whole. We are bringing praise to God by offering the same acceptance that He has offered you and me.

Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank You for accepting me. Thank You for including me and making me whole. Help me to offer the same acceptance to others. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
