WHATEVER YOU WISH TO GIVE TO OTHERS – YOU NEED TO HAVE IT WITHIN TO GIVE By SpiritualDictionary.com
When I say that your first priority is the self, I do not mean this in an egotistical manner. That would mean that you would hold yourself in a higher or lower esteem than others. We are all souls on a journey and some have very serious and difficult lessons to overcome.
So, to give from your heart the highest unconditional love, you need to be able to feel and have that love in your heart and soul.
To give strength and courage to others, you need to have that belief system with yourself.
To understand suffering, you need to have healed from your own suffering.
Getting to know yourself, in truth, is one of the most difficult tasks in life, but that is evolvement.
Learning to love yourself means becoming aware that you are a child of God and a part of God – of creation. Love yourself as God loves you – unconditionally and without judgment.
Making mistakes in life and changing due to them is a process of growth.
Not forgiving yourself for those mistakes means that you are in self-judgment and please remember: God does not judge!
It is the love of God you live with, not the fear of God!
