Resilience – Acceptance
June 24, 2025
As Christ followers, our lives can be chaotic, even fractured. Life requires that we be resilient, able to persist and get through to better things ahead. Research shows that resilient people possess three common traits: acceptance, purpose, and flexibility.
Acceptance is knowing what you cannot change, and knowing yourself. As Christ followers, we know God cares for us. We know ourselves. We are God’s handiwork, Ephesians 2: 10, with a plan for each of our days. Psalm 139:13-16, Accepting these truths from scripture about our God and ourselves calms our emotions, crowds out stress, and brings peace. Acceptance brings peace first, and then a clearer look at our options.
