"Love your neighbors as yourself"
The ultimate challenge is Love
It's always Love in the end
Do you believe in God's love for you?
That He LOVES you enough to sacrifice His Son
What about your neighbors?
Your enemies?
Can you Love?
Can you BE Loved?
Can you Love your enemies?
"Love your neighbors as yourself"
Love has always been a challenge
I have seen so much pain because of it...
My problem has never been with Loving my 'neighbors', in some ways, its worse
I have never Loved myself,
You could even say I have Hated myself.
But now i see that I CANNOT.
I cannot become close to God with self hate
God is Love
To be close to Him, or anyone really, I must Love myself
It is a hard fight.
I may not win each battle, but the war is mine
With God's help, and my friends', Love will win.
Im learning to Love myself as my neighbors.

hmm... let's take these questions in order...
ReplyDeletedo i believe in god's love for me?
slot of the time, ya, basicly. i recognize "god" as just a general higher power that i ussualy call karma, but i still believe it's the same as "god"
but back to the answer, alot of the times i know god loves me, but there r times i feel like he cant possibly love me and let whatever is going on continue. then i remember that he has a plan ans whatever is going on is ment to better me or prepare me for something in some way.
can i love, can i be loved, can i love my enimies?
i think i can love... cause i love my friends, for a good portion of them i'd give anything i have to help them. ...
(to b continued when i get home)
(continued from last comment)
ReplyDelete... can i BE loved?, idk... i'd like to think so, but it seems life wants to convince me otherwise. with all this shit that happened to me with ohio, and my mind refusing to forget it, tho i've begged it to, i start to doubt that i can b loved. and can i love my enemies?... idk... realy i dont have that many that i know of, and those i do have it's cause i dont like them, so i'm gonna say it would b very hard.
and as for the rest... honestly, there have been times i wanted to give up on god, cause it seemed to me that he abandoned me first.
it also seems to me at times that i am like job... being tested, tho i must admit, it's is like god took a test that makes a rocket scientist scratch his head and gave it to a kindergardener... but ya.. so far, so good
