It amazes me that simply our acceptance of one another brings glory to God.
Romans 15:7 (NIV)
7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
It doesn't say accept those that are like you - it simply says accept one another. I am not sure there could be anyone as different from Christ than me when Christ accepted me and yet He did accepted me and when He chose to do that it brought glory to God. The same thing happens when I accept others - even in the midst of our differences.
This verse also caught my eye. I really need to grow in the area of accepting others in order to bring glory to God.
