Love

Do you love other people more than yourself? Do you put yourself down? Remember that Jesus said we were to love others AS ourselves. Jesus EXPECTS us to love ourselves.

We should never do to ourselves what we'd not do to others.

He chose to follow God's will and die for us because he loves us. Shouldn't we love someone who he considers important enough to die for? It is in loving ourselves that we take care of ourselves. When we take care of ourselves, we are healthier, happier, and can spend more time loving and helping others.

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

E. E. Smith
