Loving others
In the Law there are many commands, such as, “Be faithful in marriage. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not want what belongs to others.” But all of these are summed up in the command that says, “Love others as much as you love yourself.”
Romans 13:9
I’m sure most of us don’t cheat, murder and steal. But loving other’s as much as we love ourself is much harder. It’s easy to SAY that we love other’s as much as we love ourself, but they can tell rather we truly mean it or not by our actions. If we act selfish and demand our own way all the time, it’s going to show everyone that we love ourself the most. But if we truly care about other’s and love them more than we love ourself, we’ll show that by our actions, but serving other’s by meeting other’s needs, by encouraging and helping other’s in any way that we can. Be selfless, instead of selfish. Truly love other’s as much as you love yourself.
