The Second Most Important Commandment Says: 

"Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor

As Thyself!"

Mark 12:31.

As Strange As It May Sound

The Most Important Relationship You Have 

Is The One That You Have With Yourself! 

Hear Me Out! 

Too Many People Don't Like Who They Are

And They Focus On Their Faults, Weaknesses, And Failures! 

They Wish They Were Taller

Had A Better Personality ... And Looked Like Someone Else 

Instead Of Accepting Themselves 

As The Workmanship Of Almighty God ... A Masterpiece

Made In The Image Of The Eternal Holy God!

As If That Isn't Bad Enough

They Then Wonder Why They Are Not Happy 

And Don't Have Good Relationships 

With Our Heavenly Father, Their Family And Friends

Food, Their Feelings, And Their Finances! 

If You Don't Get Along With You, Then It Stands To Reason That

You Are Not Going To Get Along With Other People 

And Most Certainly Not With The Holy God!

Brethren, You Can't Love Others 

If You Don't First Love Yourself  ... In A Goodly, Godly, Way! 

Please Note That The Word Is Not To Be "In Love With Yourself!" 

With This In Mind, The Best Thing You Can Do

- I Include Myself - 

Is To Be Good To Yourself

Be Kind To Yourself

Be Merciful To Yourself

And Bless God For His Faithfulness To His Word To Us!

PRAYER: 

Father God, 

Thank You For Making Me In Your Image 

With Gifts, Talents, And Abilities To Enjoy Life

While Accomplishing Your Will

And

Also Blessing Others! 

Please Help Me To Love Myself

Despite All Of My Weaknesses And Shortcomings

Which I know I May Give Wholly To You

For You To Change Me

To Be Who You Created Me To Be

In Your Loving Hands!

I Love You! 

Father,

In The Humility Of Faith

I Know And Can Say That

I Am Happy To Be Who You Made Me To Be!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayers

For I Pray In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Amen!
