My daughter, I love that you have asked me this question! Love is Me!!! I am Love! True Love!!!
I have love everything I have created despite them not loving Me. My Son came to earth and died for those that we both have loved. We love the whole world, but the world does not love us. But the true Church does! The true Church knows how to love Me, to love others, and to love themselves.
Mark 12:28 (MEV) One of the scribes came and heard them reasoning together. Perceiving that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. 30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. 31 The second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 32 The scribe said to Him, Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, that there is one God and there is no other but Him. 33 To love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, You are not far from the Kingdom of God. After that, no one dared to ask Him any question.
You are to love Me with all of your mind, heart, soul, and strength; this is the greatest and first commandment. It is a simplified version of you should have no gods before Me. I am the God who brought you out of Egypt. I bring many people out of their own Egypt, including you and your family. We are almost to your promised land.
You are to love others is the second commandment. It includes most of the 10 Commandments. But this commandment will not be done well without first loving yourself.
But what is loving yourself mean? It means that you forgive yourself of any sins you knowingly committed, you forgive yourself of any feelings of shame and condemnation. Once you can let go of these then you can start to love yourself like I do. Then you can show love and appreciate others.
I know it is hard to forgive yourself when satan keeps bringing things back to you. But you just have to cast down those thoughts and remind yourself that I did not condemn you, neither should you. Tell satan to stick those thoughts in his darkness and leave them there; you don’t want them here in your mind. Cast these thoughts or burdens upon Me. That is why I am here for!
Stop trying to live your life by yourself. You are MINE!! I brought and paid for you with My Son’s Blood. You belong to ME!!
Be in My strength to fight the devil. With Me all things are possible! Why are you trying to do things on your own? Stop It!!
Come back to Me, surrender to Me, and let Me live in you for the rest of your life. Love your heavenly Dad —
Ok did anyone else felt like the toes was smashed?!?!
Until next time
