It is not scriptural and, as shown here, it can sometimes do more harm than good. You have a lot of people that love you a lot, but I understand not in the special way you would like. <BR/><BR/>You have to love others FIRST. Only then can you learn to love yourself, because the love you give to others comes back, and because when you see the love you give to others, you realize that you are lovable as well.<BR/><BR/>Love is an action verb, a verb of service and charity, one of selflessness.

Your heart and soul always want happiness. It's your head that gets in the way. Your mind finds things to do thinking to protect, but in the long run only really hurt.David Hornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145317456512344273noreply@blogger.com
