Loving ourselves as our neighbor
Content can't be loaded!
Following Jesus’ example is how we most helpfully—healingly—love our neighbor.
Loving does not mean carrying another’s problem. And mental baggage is heavy only if we consent to carrying it. But if we don’t pick it up, there isn’t anything to drop.
When a conversation becomes uncomfortable or heated, I’ve learned to turn everything over to God, divine Love. I’ve come to trust that prayer will reveal what I need to know about the natural harmony and peace that exist within and between us.
Prayer has the power to transform the way I think about myself and others.
To be faithful means to keep promises, to be true to your word. It makes me think about how God is faithful to His promise to love us and take care of us—no matter what.
This developing health concern had been destroyed by opening my heart to what I already knew to be true about me. I was grateful that I’d been healed and that my wife never experienced any symptoms.
Bible stories of healing and protection, particularly those in the New Testament about Jesus and his disciples, came to mind, and were so inspiring.
I rejoiced at this immediate result of my clear comprehension of my true being as totally spiritual.
