Giving Our Best

 Jesus told some people to simply follow the commandments.  Love your neighbor as you love yourself.  But what if you don’t love yourself?  A problem for sure.  So for many people who listened to Jesus in his teaching, loving themself was the stumbling block.  Some very selfish people think that by loving others to get what they want, is love.  It is never fulfilling nor is it healing.  So I ask myself each morning and check on it at night before bed, “Do and Did I love myself today and how?”  If I wake up and realize that my day is not about loving myself in a healthy way, then I need to do something about that right away.  Spiritual reading and meditation can help to get me in a more positive frame.  I might need to forgive myself or make an amend to someone from yesterday.  Maybe all someone and get a second opinion.  It may come to me in my “Holy” time in silence and reflection.  God is at work if I let God.
