Finding Acceptance

Photo by  Courtney Prather  on  Unsplash If you were to ask a group of young people what they wanted most from their peers, you'd probably get a variety of different answers. Some may say love, or support, or maybe even respect. But what all those boil down to is acceptance.  We all want to feel accepted by the people around us. We want to be validated and be a part of the crowd. So we may do and say things that we normally wouldn't. Because if we say and do those things, then the people around us will accept us.

Jesus did not have to do that but he wanted to. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son to condemn the world, But to save the world though him. The bible says that we are the light of the world we are the city on a hill.  In other words it means we need to let the light of Jesus shine to others though us.
