I wasn't born yesterday, but for some reason, it took me a while to learn this particular lesson.
God has been teaching me about acceptance. It hasn't been about accepting other people, until a few days ago. In fact, it mostly has to do with accepting myself. For my whole life, I wasn't able to accept my failings, my imperfections, or anything of that sort. I had high expectations for myself. Therefore, I have high expectations for everyone else.
After God slapped me in the face with reality, I understood that he accepts me just the way I am, so I need to accept myself in that same way. When I'm willing to accept myself, I'm able to accept other people WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more easily.
Part of loving yourself is being able to accept every part of who you are. And if you see something that you don't like, then change it.
Only you and God can do that.
No one else can.
