Do you Love Yourself?

Greetings,
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.--Sigmund Freud
Mark 12:29-31
29 Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment.
31 The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
In order to love God the way His word says to love him, we have to love our self. Then we have to love our neighbor.
God says we need to love him with everything that is within us. When we put God first in our life and seek him then we will be able to love our self and those around us. It is so wonderful when all is well with your relationship with the Lord.
Have a blessed day.
Joy
