Ever since I was a child, I have know that I was to love my neighbor as myself. Yet somehow in the midst of focusing on loving my neighbor near and far, I somehow missed the other half of the principal. Before I can love anyone else I have to love me!
I am created in God's image. That means God gave me what I need to succeed, that I have strength and abilities that even I don't know I have. I have to remember that I am but flesh and despite my best attempts, I will fall. And even when I fall, I can find redemption, forgiveness and the strength to continue striving. I must celebrate the good and look for the root cause of that which I wish to change. Critcizing every fault I see in me will not change who I am.
I love you, Me!
