Learning to love one another as we love ourselves is the first step in being a disciple. Loving one's self requires accepting and understanding who you are and where you are. If you are doing a poor job of loving yourself then you will certainly have difficulty loving your neighbor. Being created in the image of God has nothing to do with flesh and bone. We are more than our mortal bodies. We are more than a disease or condition. We are spirits that will live in eternity. Learn to suffer with grace and to strive to become better and not bitter.
"By this all men will know you are my disciples…" John13:35

Thank you Susie. I am blessed that the Spirit has found a way to get me moving to perform His will. Not everyone gets the opportunity.
