Love Governs My Spirit

Love always governs the spirit, and the spirit must be strengthed to rule the mind and flesh. I understood the natural order of love everywhere. First, we must love the Creator. This is the greatest love we can have. Then we must love ourselves. I knew that without feelings of self-love that the love we feel for others is counterfeit. Then, we must love all others as ourselves. As we see the light of Christ in ourselves, we will see it in others too, and it will become impossible not to love that part of God in them. (Embraced By The Light, pp. 59-60.)

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Galatians 5:14, KJV)

It is not always easy, Father, to truly love myself. Sometimes I feel unworthy even of your love for me. Help me to grow closer to you and to feel your divine spirit within me so that I can love myself and express love to others.

My love for God extend to myself and to others.
