Love Thyself

I know so many who inside have been rejected, and don't feel accepted.  Yet they know they have soooo much love to give, so they go and try to show this love to people to heal that feeling of rejection, but they don't seem to get the acceptance they feel they deserve from people....Why?

Yea it never makes sense, but in Life, Just because you love someone and give them your all, you don't always get the same back......"BUT IT'S NOT FAIR"...yea I know, haven't you ever heard Life is NOT fair.

If you have faced this, maybe you have taken a lil walk in Jesus' shoes, Who gave His own Life to declare his Love for you, to display His care for you, yet people still reject Him until this day...

So what to do?

Instead take that great amount of love you feel you have, and give it to yourself, accept yourself, LOVE YOURSELF, for if you don't learn to do this, you will spend your life longing to be loved and accepted by human beings who will only disappoint you time and time again.  

The Only Unbreakable Love is the one that God has for You and me.....and He loves you because you mean everything to Him..So start having the same love for yourself...start knowing that you mean the world to God, no matter what you have done, you are worthy of God's grace, and mercy...and He takes great pride on you....

You mean more to God than gold and diamonds, and if this is the case (which it very well is), then shouldn't you love yourself?

WHY?

Why do we always take the people or things in our life for granted until they are no longer there....

Why are we only reminded of what we have after it has left our grasp...Why can't we just cherish what we have, and know the worth of the people around us

Must we take everything for granted?

Think about How you will treat the people in your life if you just happened to know tomorrow they will be gone, and you wouldn't have a chance to care, or tell them how you feel...You wouldn't treat them the same way you treat them now would you?

I wonder why we don't notice that in reality, this is exactly how it is, we don't know if our loved ones will be here tomorrow, we don't know if today's the last day we have to tell someone that we care, that they mean a lot to us...Today could be the only day you have to be kind, to Love...

Do this everyday, for we don't know the length of anyone's life

Love is not just a feeling you have inside, but it must be acted out in acts of kindness, giving, consoling, being a friend, caring....

One day you will be in a situation where you will regret the fact that you just didn't take the time to care enough for the one who will be then gone. But before this happens, today you have that opportunity

This is a reminder to you, Let Him who has an ear listen.

Abraham Lincoln Said

Abraham Lincoln said.....
" We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!"

What is a Christians?

Martin Luther defines one as one who feels no hate , or enmity to other fellow people.
A Christian is one who strives to be like Jesus, but many of us has failed.

So as a Christian I would like to apologize.
You know it's plenty of times that people have told me that us so called Christians are often the most hypocritical people and often the most hurtful people they have ever dealt with, and all along I didn't think nothing of it ,But today I apologize for all of us so called Christians out here.

It's apparent to me today that most people have denied Jesus Christ, not because they don't believe He exists or because they have known Him and didn't like His ways, but simply because the people they have met who called themselves Christians have been nothing like Christ.

So I'm sorry for the Christian who didn't care for your needs, but only told you how wrong you lived and that you will go to hell.

I'm sorry for the Christian who only cared to show you how better they were than you.

I'm Sorry If you found church to be a place where people danced, and you didn't know why and no one cared to tell you.

I'm sorry for the pastors who preached a message you didn't understand and no one cared to explain it.

I'm sorry for the people who made you think that the Bible is about following Rules.

I'm sorry for the people who made you think being a Christian is about being perfect.

I'm sorry for the people that made you think that you have to be a certain way or look a certain way to be a Christian.

I'm sorry for the churches who made you feel like you weren't good enough, or you weren't dressed good enough to enter them.

I'm sorry for the churches that just never took the time to get to know you, to make you feel like you were part of them, a family, and I
'm sorry for the boring pastors who made you hate church.

I'm sorry for Christians who took more from you than they gave back to you.

And I can keep on going, man aren't we some twisted Christians, so I come to you, asking for your forgiveness people. Please forgive us, because we are a poor reflection of Jesus, and we are nothing like Him, so Please don't deny Jesus because of me, because of US, because the Jesus we serve is not a God of rules, He doesn't want you when you perfect, He doesn't just have rules for you to follow, He is a friend, He is a comforter, He is a deliverer. The Jesus we serve IS NOTHING LIKE ME. The Jesus we serve cares for what you have to say, He Loves You just as you are, with everything you have done, and He died for you so you can spend eternity with Him in Heaven.

This is a Challenge for Christians, it's not to put you down, but to show you that we have failed in many areas, we are to be a light to the world, the light of Jesus, and I don't know how many of us are anymore.

You know it's funny but 'THE HARSHEST WORDS JESUS EVER SAID' weren't to thieves, or prostitutes, or strippers, or drug addicts or drug dealers, or anybody that was openly living a sinful lifestyle, NO, The Harshest words of Jesus were aimed at Pharisees, the people who were hypocrites, the ones who pretended to be so religious, so better than everyone, people who acted like they knew it all and they were so Holy, fake Christians. So I'm Sorry Once Again, Please Forgive US and I promise You that Christ is Will be the Best thing You ever knew, because He is nothing like me, Again.

Love Part 1

All of us are made with a need to be loved, a need which we all seek throughout our lives in many things, beliefs, or people. Satan understands this about us, and in his own ways, he brings many things in our path that appear to offer that need, but all of them are empty, and they only leave us thirsting for more.
Some people Give up on Love since the things they try to find love in, disappoints them. this in turn makes Love/life unbearable. But people fail to consider ther Are LOOKING FOR LOVE IN THE WRONG PLACES. We fail to look at the being of uncondional love if ur a good reader u know that this being refers to GOD, he cares about each of us than this world. He fills that void of needing to be loved. Everyone human has that void so we can have a relationship with God.
All in all God fills that void of needing to be loved. God loves you no matter what you do, a scary thought right u can kill someone biut he woudd still love you. If u feeling down just look up to God. God is TRUE LOVE, a love that you don't need to fight for, cry for, seek for years, but a love thats given to you freely regardless of who you are.. For what is Love but God himself.
