Yesterday, I ran into a phrase: "authenticity over acceptance". My understanding is that the author wanted to be true to himself and not worry about conforming to others' expectations, because there is a lot of pressure on the internet to be like so and so.
Christ accepts me just as I am. And he helps me change to be more and more like him. He calls me to authentically be Christlike, instead of conforming to what the world expects.
And he wants me to accept myself and surrender to him to change me.
