“Ten Guidelines From GOD” Part
10 of 10
Oh Boy the conclusion!
Are you ready for this?
10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can
you not love yourself? You were created by Me for one reason only -- to be
loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your
neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so
angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me.
Don't ever forget...
Don’t ever forget that God is Love and he
describes Himself in 1 Corinthians 13. He doesn’t say be
IN love with yourself but love you to the point of taking care of yourself.
How can you love God if you can’t love yourself? Bad
things happen and there is no way around those things unless you hole yourself
up in some cave somewhere in the middle of nowhere and do absolutely nothing.
Even then you are in danger of starvation or attack from wild animals.
We are our own worse enemies. We all make mistakes
and some bad choices in our lives but that is just it “LIFE”. What
you do with it is what makes it successful or miserable. If
you make a bad choice and dwell upon it you will more then likely make your
whole day miserable and some dwell on it for a lifetime so their lives are
miserable. But if you make a bad choice and then correct it
without fighting it then get over it and move on and seek forgiveness of
whatever sin it is you keep holding on to thinking God wont forgive you for
it, you will find a happier you and an easy to love you. There
used to be these bumper stickers that used to be on many cars and I saw a few
t-shirts that said “Sh_t Happens, Have a Nice Day” with a smiley face on
it. Well that saying is so true. Stuff occurs don’t let
it ruin your day or your life for that matter. Life is too
short to dwell on past mistakes. Love You For Who You Are!
God Does! Now there’s a slogan for a t-shirt with a
smiley face.
