Liking and Loving Yourself

On Thursday, February 14th, many people will be celebrating Valentine's Day. Flowers, candies, and gifts will be exchanged between couples. For many who are not in a relationship, they'll either chill by themselves wondering why they're not hooked up or begin feeling depressed. Well, I'm here to let you know, when you have a healthy self-esteem and you love yourself, you don't trip on getting gifts from people and you don't trip on being alone because you love yourself. In a real sense, loving yourself and liking yourself will make you feel good about yourself.  Let me say it this way. When you feel good about you, you don't let days make you or break you.

While Jesus was having a teachable moment with His followers, He deposited these words, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Please don't miss this. When you love God, you learn to love yourself. Without loving God, you can't love. Wait a minute. The text says, 'love  your neighbor as yourself.' Simply put - you can't love others without loving you. As I close this message, I want you to work on you. Build your self-esteem. Love yourself like crazy. Don't worry about what happens on Valentine's Day because you have the greatest love - God and the love of yourself.
