Accepted in the Beloved

…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. – Ephesians 1:5-6 NKJV

Scripture Reflection:
Our acceptance in Christ frees us from the rejection of others. It helps us release the need for human approval and brings healing. It also allows us to love others freely, unconditionally, and joyfully, regardless of their responses. Changes in relationships do not change our position in Christ. We are accepted even when rejected, loved even when disliked, and secure even when circumstances shift.

Application:
Trust your position in Christ, resting in your secure relationship with God. Others may not always respond to your love, but love anyway. Practice unconditional love, knowing your security does not hinge on others' responses.

Connection:
Thank You, Lord, for accepting me in Christ. Help me trust and rest in our relationship, even when others fluctuate. Empower me to walk free from fear of rejection or abandonment. I love You and praise You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
