“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mark 12:31
“In the New Testament, Jesus said the greatest commandment of all is to love God with all your heart. But He also added the second greatest commandment: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There’s something important here that I think people often miss: You cannot give away something you don’t have in you. How can someone love another person if they don’t have love for themselves?
We all need to accept ourselves - our personalities and imperfections - knowing that although we are not where we need to, we are making progress. God wants us to love ourselves and our identity in Him!
“I encourage you to seek God about this and ask the Holy Spirit to help you grow in your love toward Jesus, yourself and others. He will help you overcome anything that might hinder you in the process. Remember, God is Love. And He loves you!”
