HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF AND SUCCEED WITH GOD #1519 / SUNDAY NIGHT WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF AND SUCCEED WITH GOD

Throughout the history of our Christian heritage, we have suffered with the idea that loving oneself equals pride. Of course, we know the scriptures that tell us pride goes before a fall. And the Old Testament tells us that God hates pride. So what are we to think?
Traditionally, the easiest way to combat pride is to form various kinds of defamation of oneself. Which quickly leads to a lifestyle of a lack of self-worth and even hatred of one's humanity.
If you take the smell test on these actions, you know that the enemy of our soul is behind this form of abuse of God's creation. Mankind is the highest form of creation that God gave to this earth. And Satan hates that. This is why every form of self-abuse, addiction, and perversion has been brought out of hell and thrown against the human race.
Why should I love myself? First of all, I am the temple that God chose to make his new home in. That'll be enough to realize that we are a wonderful creation. David said we were fearfully and wonderfully made.
Then listen to what Jesus said in Matthew 22;37= 
  The number one commandment, the greatest of all commandments, is to love the Lord thy God with all your heart, your soul, and your mind.
Number two commandment, which is equal to the first commandment in authority and importance.
And love your neighbor as yourself.
So here's a form of "reverse osmosis."
Start with yourself and learn to love what God created. Then you can go to your neighbor and really know how to love them because you have learned to love yourself. Because God created them and loves them equally as he loves you.
Because of that, and maybe only because of this, you can genuinely love the Lord your God with all your heart, that will please the Father's heart.
