Love is powerful and its a beautiful thing. Ladies and Gentlemen Val’s day is not just about chocolates and flowers, its about love in its purest form. Love is a force that moves mountains and crosses oceans, it builds nations but hear me the first person you must love is YOU.
The Bible says in MARK 12:31 ”Love your neighbor as yourself. But how can you love your neighbor when you don’t love yourself? How can you pour into others when your cup is empty. If you give love to people you ought to give love to your own self.
Listen to me, Valentine’s day is not just for couples NO, it is for mothers who pray over their children. It is for teachers who sacrifice to educate the next generation. It is for friends who stand by you when everyone else walks away and it is also for you – the one who wakes up every morning and keeps pushing despite the struggles and challenges.
Love is not just saying ” I LOVE YOU” It is in showing it and that includes showing love to yourself. Some of you need to forgive yourself, you ought to stop comparing yourselves. You need to stop waiting for others to affirm you and start affirming yourself.
For you are WORTHY, VALUABLE AND ENOUGH…
Hear me beloved, love is like a seed, when you plant it, it grows. Love is like a candle it shines in the darkest places. Love is like a bridge, it connects and restores and selflove is the foundation of all other types of love. When you love yourself you set a standard. When you love yourself you attract standards and you turn to walk in confidence.
Remember Mother Theresa once said, ” It is not how much we give but how much love we put into giving” this includes giving love to yourself.
Today it doesn’t matter if you are single ,married, divorced or widowed, take yourself out. Treat yourself well, speak kindly to yourself because you deserve love too.
