HOW DO WE LEARN TO ACCEPT THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM US.

WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE OF A PERSON INTO AN EVEN DEEPER INTIMACY THAT IS UNIQUE . THE ESSENCE OF RELATIONSHIP IS ACCEPTANCE . WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE , WE ARE ABANDONED TO REJECTION AND LONELINESS. WITH ACCEPTANCE, WE CAN LIVE JOYFULLY TOGETHER WITH A KALEIDOSCOPE OF FRIENDSHIP, LOVE , BONDING, AND FAMILY TIES. WE ACCEPT INTO OUR LIVES NOT ONLY  PERSONS, BUT FROM PERSONS ACTS OF KINDNESS FROM THEM OR EXPRESSIONS FROM THEM.  BUT  THE BIBLE ALSO CALLS US TO ACCEPT THOSE THE WORLD DEEMS UNACCEPTABLE THE POOR, HOMELESS, HANDICAPPED, ELDERLY, PRISONER, OR ADDICT.
