The Key To Loving Others
 

The Key To Loving Others

Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways [under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes]. —2 Thessalonians 3:16

The Bible says to love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27); the key is to love yourself. You won’t enjoy your day until you learn to accept and enjoy yourself, because you have to eat with yourself, sleep with yourself, and be with yourself all day. Until you are happy with who you are and where you are in life, you will never learn to love others or get to where you want to be.

Don’t get down on yourself about everything you didn’t do right yesterday. Today is a new day. Learn to love your life, right now, right where you are now. Say, “I am grateful to be a child of God, redeemed and made righteous in His eyes. I am going to enjoy myself all day long.”
