   %LOVE GRACE ACCEPT LACK CONTROL ACHIEVE KNOW OWN 910628

     The   heart  of love and grace has to do  with  being
accepted  into  open and honest dialogue in spite of  what
we  lack;  not because of what we do,  know,  have,   own,
control or have achieved.

     The   true  lover  will  accept you into   open   and
honest dialogue even if:

     1.  You   cannot   control  what you are  trying   to
control, even though you cannot be controlled.

     2.  You lack knowledge,  skills and virtues which you
think that you should have before you are acceptable.

     3.  You   have  not achieved the degree of perfection
which you regard as the pre-requisite to acceptance.

     4.  You  have no gifts to offer in return,   and even
though there is no prospect of you ever being able to  pay
for the acceptance in any way.

     5.  You   have   not  properly   conformed   yourself
to respectable standards of being proper and acceptable.

     6.  You   have  not  repented  from  honestly   being
yourself  as a unique creature of God.
