Today
I want to share an article from Tebogo Golowe. I learnt a lot from it and I
believe you will too.

And
the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself – Matthew 22:39
(KJV)
The
law of love controls everything in the kingdom; it is the key to abundant
living. The fastest way to fulfill the entire scripture is by the application
of this rule. One proof that one loves God is by loving your neighbor. When you
study Matthew 22:34-40, Galatians 5:14
and Luke 10:25-28, the implication is that for us to love our neighbor we
must first love ourselves. It is absolutely impossible to love the second party
without first loving yourself.
Therefore, if you love yourself, you love God and fulfill scriptures. We
are made in His Image, so reality is that you and I just look like Him in
Christ. When He is looking at us He sees Himself. He made us for His pleasure,
to simply see Himself. Genesis 1:26
13 points that will help you fall in
love with yourself and ultimately walk in love:
1. Know that Jesus’ perfection was credited to your account. Your past and future are
already well paid for. 2 Corinthians 5:21
2. Pursue God with your all. It’s only by your knowing Him that
you discover yourself. You cannot know who you are in Christ and fail to love yourself.
3. Give yourself permission to be human. We err sometimes not
because we are wicked but simply because we don’t have the perfect knowledge.
However, this does not give us the go ahead to sin but to stop the enemy from
tormenting us with guilt. Ask for forgiveness and move on.
4. Celebrate yourself. Until you do so no one will. You
are the perfect version of yourself and no one can be more perfect than you
are. You are treated the way you treat yourself.
5. Never equate yourself to the things you have. You are not a car, clothes
or your body. All these things are simply a means to an end. Read more...
