However, life events have proven that the greatest love each of us will ever experience start and end with God and us. Not loving ourselves causes us to enter and remain in unhealthy relationships. It is impossible to remain in a relationship when someone is emotionally, mentally, economically, spiritually or physically abusing you if you value yourself - if you love yourself. Remember that there is a difference between loving yourself and being arrogant. In fact, the more we love ourselves the less we focus on ourselves and the more we give to others while at the same time we make certain that our needs and wants are being met.
Love forms a full circle.
We choose to love God and ourselves and naturally begin to extend that love toward others. In turn, others come into our lives who care about and love us and the love we extend to them comes back to us. From this standpoint, falling in love is the most effective way to insure that we are surrounded by love at all times. Today, commit to getting to know - God. Commit to getting to know - you.
