Love, You



Love is among the greatest commandment in the bible entreats you to have for both humanity and divinity. 


"....Love Your Neighbour as yourself.." Jesus said, explaining this being the second of the great commandments. (Mark 12:31, Matthew 22:39)


The emphasis, as Yourself. Meaning before you can love anyone, you must love yourself first if not, you love in vain. Do not be blinded by the 'norms' of this world, love is reciprocal. Sure it is, to those who can’t define it.


How do you love yourself? How do you appreciate yourself? Is it by priding yourself in your possessions? Or flaunting your wealth? 


No!


Loving yourself, is, you being able to appreciate what you have, be content. It is you taking full responsibility for your actions and not blaming anyone for your mistakes. 


Loving yourself is you acknowledging your weaknesses and accepting them. Loving yourself is you accepting your dirty past, seeing the better person God had made you and living a fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. 


Remember, before you love anyone, first love yourself. What you'll do to make yourself happy, do the same to others. What will make you feel sad, don't inflict it on others?


'...For God so loved the world…' (John 3:16), the word of God says. God didn't wait for the world to love Him back, yet He loved the world. 


You can also love your neighbour with no expectation of them returning your love and God who sees things in secrets will surely Bless you.

Let Them Say.

The perception, views, and says of your fellow human, doesn't define your true worth.  Don't forget what happened to Samuel when he went anointing David as king. Whiles Samuel was busy looking at appearance and physique. God was patiently looking into their hearts.  The utterances of others shouldn't stop u from achieving your set goals.  Discouraging words shouldn't prevent you from achieving your dream.  Don't let their words rule your life. God has the final say. Hear no man but listen to God all the time.  Let's pray, Father, give me the heart to stand and adhere to you at all times.

How much Can you bear?

Life in this world is a noble struggle, both for the young and old. Abe even those who have great riches have trouble on their own. With this, how much more pain can you bear? Job was very affluent, living in luxury. But in a day, everything disappeared. Did he like the incident? Was he proud?  God is His knowledge believed in Job, just as Job believed in Him. So, despite all the pain and influences from friends and relatives, Job never gave up on God. He still believed.  How much can you bear? Just a day without food, see how painful it is. Your peers betray you and see how you complain about it?  So, should God put you in the shoes of Job, can you still hold on to believing in Him?  (Reference: the book of Job)
