The Second Most Important Commandment! + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Me To Love Myself ...!



By

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!
