TOPIC: HOW DO YOU TREAT YOURSELF? 1: Love Yourself First
MEMORY VERSE:
Mark 12:31.
“31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
BIBLE READING:
Mark 12:31.
“31. And the second is like, namely this, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
Our Lord Jesus revealed secrets that we need to know. One of the greatest things Jesus did was to give us two commandment while He was on earth which we, as Christians, hardly obey the two completely. Jesus said, in Mark 12:29-31
“29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
We are to love three sets of People while on earth, we are to Love God First, secondly we are to love ourselves, and thirdly, we’re to love our neighbors. It’ll be very hard for us to completely obey the three, especially when we do the first, and leave out the second, hoping to do the third. We prove to love the Lord our God and then try to love our neighbours without loving ourselves First.
“THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
You must first love yourself, i’m not talking about being Selfish, but what you desire for yourself should be what you desire for others. When you take good care of yourself that’s when you can do same to others.
How do love yourself? If you love yourself you wouldn’t take what’s dangerous to health, you will stick to God’s commandment and instructions since they are for you. To love yourself is too avoid anything that will be detrimental to your life. Jesus said, …”Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself… If you don’t love yourself you can’t love your neighbour, you are just a pretender. Love yourself first before you can love others. It’s time we start loving ourselves before loving or showing love to others. Love Yourself.
Good Morning and God Bless you.
