 It is important to realize that all love originally comes from God.
Love flows from God to us, which in turn enables us to love Him back. This relationship then frees us to have pure God-given love for ourselves.
Only when we have pure love for God and for ourselves can we truly love our neighbors. This amazing flow of love promotes life and healing.
When we accept God’s unconditional love for us and wholly trust in His power to transform our lives, we are energized to take better care of ourselves in order to reflect His character to a needy world.
Love will motivate us to make healthy choices, to rest in His peace, to surround ourselves with a healing, health promoting environment, to be active in mind and body, to trust fully in Him, to serve others, to have a positive outlook colored by love’s grace, and to eat for strength, vigor and health.
We will be motivated to take care of ourselves so that we might fulfill His mission of service.
