Self love
So many people in the world finds themselves in a great dilemma of how to love themselves and others
Due to this dilemma they finds themselves getting into more complicated issues of life ,it's unfortunate that the world system has a customized way of life, from birth you are taught to live for others , you grow up in the same system hence adapting and continuing the same pattern then pass it to the next generation , you are made to believe that you were born to grow and become ready for others to use , while this has some good degrees of truth and reality , without having the whole truth human being have continued to do harm to themselves more than good,many people have committed suicide,died of depression and other "self caused disease s ,we are born , search for education/knowledge and then proceed to work in search of enablement to life , with responsibilities on our shoulders we continue with the circle of life, remember this is a continuous journey so few or none takes time to think about themselves,we become so entangled to the circle of life and before you know it ,you are close to grave and tired
We give ourselves wholly to our families,our careers ,our ministries e.t.c and to things that seems to make us fulfilled, unfortunately in many cases all our efforts are rarely or never appreciated and you becomes like a man who draws waters with a torn bucket
I just want to remind you, you are an individual and thats the bottom line,if you don't love and appreciate yourself it will be difficult to love others, before you love your wife ,love yourself and appreciate yourself before you love your children love yourself(remember before they become yours ,they are individuals with a unique, tailor made destinies), before you love your friends, your job and everything else Start with your own self
God in His own wisdom instructed us to love others just as we love ourselves..IT STARTS WITH YOU
kindly take time to think about yourself, think about your health, think about your peace , think about your joy and happiness,... REMEMBER your wife , husband , children, church, business,job e.t.c can live without you BUT you can't live "you" "Selah"
It's impossible to give what you don't have
God didn't bring you here to be spent and then disposed
