For many of us this is a lifelong challenge. And by self acceptance, I don't mean that we be complacent about our shortcomings as if they are no big deal. I have a lazy streak for example that stops me from seeing things through to their conclusion. This can be annoying for all concerned. I can pray for the grace to change that and I do.
But this prayer is our conclusion about ourselves. Am I ok?
Yes I'm ok despite my annoying traits. Because if we can accept those traits in the spirit of "at least I am trying to change the things that need changing for the better, I might develop the same attitude to others. Grow in patience and tolerance. Have positive conclusions about others.
Lord hear us
