"Help Us Accept Each Other" (no. 560 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is a powerful hymn on reconciliation and forgiveness. Rooted in Romans 15:7 — "Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God's glory" — it calls us to love others "as we find them, or as they may become."

🎵 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us,
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted
and meant to love and live.

The hymn also reflects Ephesians 4:15: “But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.”

💭 What might you consider doing in order to "grow up into Christ" through love and forgiveness this week?
