LOVING YOURSELF AS GOD LOVES YOU
Jesus gave us two Commandments… One: “love God with all your heart.“ Number two: “love your neighbor AS yourself.“ Your “neighbor“ is your husband, wife, children, coworkers, church members, business dealings, and your neighborhood. Actually, your “neighbor,“ is anybody you come in contact with. The point is… Only as you love, accept and forgive yourself, will you have the spiritual capacity to love,accept and forgive others. The “point of departure“ for loving others is to first love,accept and forgive yourself as God loves, accepts and forgives you. That’s why Jesus says “love your neighbor AS yourself. “It is very difficult to love others until you have received God‘s love for you. Here’s the principle…Once you can receive and accept God‘s love, acceptance, and forgiveness for you, …you will be free to let God‘s love,acceptance and forgiveness flow in and through you to others. Here is what Jesus said… “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another AS I have loved you… Therefore love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples if you love one another AS I have loved you.“ John 13:34–35.
