I am grateful that God’s grace has accepted me just as I am, but I am equally grateful that He is not leaving me that way. Accepting me does not mean that He is approving of my flawed attitudes and actions. He intends to enrich our lives, not leave us in our poverty. This is the first attitude spoken of by Jesus, because without admitting our spiritual poverty He cannot give us His wealth.
