It's my lunch break but I'm not eating
One of the things in my mind lately is when some people don't like me for who I am. They will say things I should do and I feel bad about it. Can't you accept me for who I am? And then I read this article from Purpose Driven Life tonight and it made me realize that I don't need to do anything just to be accepted because I'm already accepted, through the eyes of God and that's what important!
Here's some of the highlights...
Many of us base our self confidence on what other people think, so we work hard at being accepted. We buy things, we wear things, we join things -- all just for the benefit of trying to be accepted by our friends, family, co-workers and peers.
Does God say you have to earn the acceptance? That you could ever deserve it? No. The Bible just says, God has accepted you.
If you're a believer, then you've accepted Jesus into your life. But do you understand that God accepts you? He loves you unconditionally and accepts you for who you are.
Some of you grew up with unpleasable parents. They were perfectionists. No matter how much you tried, you couldn't get their approval. If you got B's, they wanted A's. If you got A's, they wanted A+'s. No matter what you did it was never, ever good enough. Even today you're still trying to earn their love and approval.
If that's the case -- with your parents or with anyone else in your life you've been seeking to please -- there are two things you need to know:
- In all likelihood, you're never going to get that approval or acceptance. Not because of who you are but because of who they are.
- You don't need their approval because you are acceptable to God. You don't need their approval to be happy.
What a relief that is to understand. You only need the love and approval of one person, and you already have it: God says you are acceptable!
I copied most of it...
Anyway, this article will remind me of God's unconditional love and I'm satisfied.
I don't need other peoples approval just to be accepted.
God bless us all! :)

Hachiko: A Dog's Story
Who is Hachiko?
Hachikō (November 10, 1923–March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō ("faithful dog Hachikō" ('hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kō,' meaning prince or duke)). Hachikō was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture,remembered for his loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.
Hachikō was the subject of the 1987 movie Hachikō-Monogatari which told the story of his life from his birth up until his death and imagined spiritual reunion with his master.
In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo took in Hachikō as a pet. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him out from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting. Hachikō was loyal and every day for the next nine years he waited sitting there amongst the town's folk.
Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for nine years with Hachikō appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.* credits to Wikipedia.
