Today we will be dealing with 20 Bible verses for Self-acceptance. Do you know so many people don’t like the way they look? There are so many people even among believers who think God didn’t create them well. And that’s why we have so many cases of transgender today. While some persons reason for not accepting the way they are is because they believe God could have done better in their creation. To others, it is basically because of what people are saying about them. There are so many people who have changed their gender today simply because of social acceptance.
The opinion of others about you should not hold much if you accept yourself for who you are. You must know that God made you and you are wonderfully and fearfully made. There is no mistake in your creation. God is the greatest artist, He has created you in the most possible perfect way. When you accept this, you will care less about what others say about you. There used to be a music artist, he was regarded as the greatest pop artist in the world, his name was Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson was born a black man but he eventually died a white man. According to the story, Jackson was abused because he is a black man. Because of this, Jackson went for surgery changed his nose, changed the color of his skin, and became a white man. The news of Jackson’s death came as a rude shock to many people all over the globe in 2009. Before you learn to accept other people for who they are, you must first learn how to accept yourself the way God has made you. Do not think anyone is better or more acceptable than you.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
