This month I started reading the 'Love' Chapter, 1st Cor. Ch. 13 in the Bible, on a daily basis. I always thought the 'Love' chapter was about teaching us to love one another, and it is, but while reading it this morning I had an epiphany. The 'Love' chapter, first and foremost is about learning to love ourselves. If we do not love ourselves we cannot love others, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Most of us are broken vessels, scarred from our past, but if we are filled with Love, than that it what will flow out of our brokenness. This is what I got (I believe from God) while reading this scripture this morning. Read the following as it is written and then go back and read only what is in the parenthesis. As always, God Bless, Shalom & Namaste' Baby!
"Love is patient (Be patient with yourself), love is kind (Be kind to yourself). It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud (Be content with what you have). It is not rude (speak kindly to yourself), it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered (stop hating yourself), it keeps no records of wrongs (for things you have done in the past). Love does not delight in evil (never let yourself be misused or abused) but rejoices with the truth (for you were fearfully and wonderfully made). It always protects (accept only the very BEST for yourself whether it be food, friends or fun) always trust (know that you are always on HIS mind) always hopes (your latter years will be brighter than your former days) always perseveres (Never, I mean Never give up on you!). Love never fails (God is Love and he will NEVER Fail you!)
