PROPERTIES
So accept each other just as Christ has accepted you; then God will be glorified. (NLT Romans 15:7)

In Windows we have all seen the Properties option. Just right-click on an icon on your desktop and at the bottom of the pop-up menu you should see an example of it. Click properties and you open a window describing various attributes of the item clicked. Each of us comes with attributes and other click properties when they first meet us.

Accepting others is an issue most of us deal with. We like certain types of people based on our experiences in life. We look at their attributes; we observe the length of their hair, the tightness of their jeans, their tattoos or lack of them, their body piercing, the style clothes they wear, the quality of words coming out of them, and more.

We were all at different places in life with varying attributes before we came to know Jesus Christ. He accepted us right where we were. There was no qualifying attribute necessary to follow Him. Isn’t it time we did the same? Next time you meet someone, look past the attributes to the person God sees and accept them right where they are at
