Love is something that we all want to receive and to have a display of affection is nurturing. There are also plenty of examples of the effects of lack of love and physical contact on mental health and well-being. We show others in our approach and by what we say, being patient and gentle demonstrates to them that we love and care for them.
Some people really put themselves down calling themselves
all the names you could think and some that you can’t, but we have to love
ourselves and show that love in order to be able to love someone else. I
celebrate the love I have in my heart for others and myself, and hope to treat
others how I would like to be treated, with care. What loving qualities do you see displayed in
your life, how could you be more loving to yourself?

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! When thinking about how to love others and myself, I always remember the words of Jesus'--"Love as I have loved you." Well, Jesus loved me beyond all imagining...that is my example! :)
