Love Your Neighbor...... As Yourself

So i'ts been a while since i made a blog post but i think this was too important not to share.

I'm no expert on the agape love, doubt anyone is but i can share a few things i've learned lately.

The commandment says "Love your neighbor as yourself" many have misinterpreted this in two ways.

Firstly; they see it as love your neighbor if they love you back. But that's not it, the agape love is unconditional so once you love them because they love you then you're not special everyone does that even evil people do.

Secondly, they see many see it as love your neighbor over or in-spite of loving yourself. I used to be in this category, did everything to make everyone else happy except make me happy. This isn't love, its foolishness and people will keep taking advantage of it over and over again.

The right way is to love your neighbor the way you love yourself. So the main question is, DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF? i mean do you see yourself as even worth loving ?. As a Christian i know God loves me, in fact He loves all mankind but just hates our sins. So if the purest person in existence loves you then who are you to look down on yourself as not worthy of loving YOU.

Someone asked me a question this week, "aren't you tired of being disappointed in this issue ? and i said No." it sounded brave and heroic then but with further reflection i realize it was pretty silly, i mean can't you love yourself enough to do what's right for you ?

If we loved ourselves we would eat right, excersise, look good, chase away toxic friends,
