Love thy Self

Love is something we all need. We all feel the desire to be loved and adored. Unfortunately, desiring this love, can lead you into some tough situations. Some of us fall in love with people who are bad for us, bad for our well-being while others fall in love with those who do not love them back. We find ourselves settling and compromising our principles and morals just to be in the company of a person. We lose ourselves in the battle of this compromise trying to figure out what we can do to make the situation more desirable and the truth of it all is we cannot make a person someone they are not.

We have to love one another for who we are and not for what we desire to be. Our mistake is getting involved in a relationship without first knowing ourselves. You cannot love someone if you do not love yourself first. How can you begin to make someone else happy, if you can’t even make yourself happy? We have to reexamine ourselves so that we can find someone who is compatible to our needs and personality.

Yes, in a relationship we do have to compromise, so we can be a blessing to one another, but we should never have to compromise who we are or our beliefs. Love shouldn’t hurt or feel uncomfortable. Love shouldn’t make you feel worthless or useless. Though no one or situation is perfect, we must be able to know the difference between love and abuse. Know the difference between love and lust. We must value ourselves so that others will see our worth.

If you want to be treated like a Queen, you must find a man who is worthy of being a King. We are never to put our feelings to the back burner while we stroke the ego of another or to protect the feelings of another. We are never to tolerate any disrespectful language or actions of another to make them feel more superior. Love is very much needed in our lives, but we are never to love someone more than we love ourselves.
