Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 11 July 2024, Thursday Message
TOPIC: Love Yourself
…You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. – Matthew 22:39 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Listening to ourselves can be quite an education. Do you say negative and unkind things about yourself? If you do, it is because deep in your heart, you have a bad attitude about yourself, and it will affect all of your relationships. God doesn’t want you to say bad things about yourself; He wants you to love and respect yourself so you can love and respect others. You cannot give away what you don’t have in you already.

God loves us unconditionally, and since God, Who is perfect, loves us, then surely we can love ourselves. We all make mistakes and want to change, and we should work with the Holy Spirit toward those changes, but through Christ we can love and value ourselves even while we are imperfect. The better you get along with yourself, the better you will get along with others.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, thank You for helping me receive Your love for me. Help me to see myself through Your eyes. Teach me to love and respect myself, so that ultimately, I can love and respect others, amen.
