Free Verse: Love Yourself First In Order to Be Able to Love Others.

in love •  8 years ago 

People must first love themselves before they can love others. We love others in the same degree that we love ourselves. So if we don't love ourselves first, we will not be able to love our close ones as we would like to.
Why wouldn't we love ourselves? Because of low self worth leading to lack of self respect. Therefore put your worth not in people, material things, achievements and pride, nor money. But in the fact that we all came from the same Creator who gave up everything for you. Not for you to pay him back, or become obligated to be good, but simply to prove to you that he truly Loves you, and doesn't expect or ask anything in return so no matter what he'll always love you. No matter what he'll never leave you when u call and look for Him. This being who loves you for no reason at all despite what u do that hurts Him, also loves every human u see, the ones sleeping(dead), and the ones about to have their first wake up breath(babies). Every body and soul is equal in worth, same in value. The worth of Gods signature of Love "Made in His image" is invincible to change, unaffected by demand, supply, or inflation. Not to mention mans folly filled mouth and limited seeing eyes, spitting false shallow judgement with words and also through their stares.
Your beautiful no matter what, and no matter what your beautiful. Matter itself was made by one Creator, and every little atom was made with a special message, "I Love You, You matter more to me than all the matter you can ever possibly see."
