Publisher's Synopsis
Jesus said, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your soul, mind and strength; and love your neighbour as yourself.' If you had to choose a single verse in the Bible that is a formula for successful living, this would be the one to live by, says Joyce Meyer. Many Christians get mixed up about love. They know they should love God, they know they should love others - but they don't understand what it means to love themselves. Joyce believes that this misconception is one of the greatest pitfalls in the Christian journey. Loving oneself in a balanced, healthy manner is essential in order to have healthy relationships with God and others.
Through these inspiring and thoughtful devotions, readers will learn:
How to fall in love with God because of who He is rather than what he can give us
Why we cannot truly love ourselves until we truly love God
Why we must love ourselves in order to love others - because it's impossible to give away something you don't possess
Practical ways to put these principles into action and enjoy richer relationships
This powerful volume combines the trademark practical teaching, sound psychology and useful insights that Joyce Meyer is known for and will form a firm basis for devotions for years to come.
