Excerpt from Story's Book, 'The Messiah Seed'
"I choose to open my heart to feel acceptance for all things."
Realize the joy in acceptance. Acceptance is a state of heart, not of mind or matter. Realize that to accept another is always to accept a gift. You are each a gift. To fully accept a gift and experience its joy, let in into your heart. Realize that the route to joy lies through the heart. Accept the gifts of your heart.
Many of you feel guilty when you receive, because you do not deem your Self worthy of it. Sometimes upon receiving a gift, your reaction is to instantly think of what you can give in return that will be of equal or greater value. That is not accepting a gift. Until you come to value your Self, you will not be able to receive into your heart and you will find your Self separated from the love and joy both within and around you. Realize that to value your Self is to accept your being. To value your Self is to experience the gift of your being. There is little joy to be derived from the world if you do not accept your Self first. It is to live a life that you do not accept, in a reality that you do not accept, from a state of being to you do not accept. It is to live in denial of your Self. Do not deny your Self.
