(Reprinted from April 8, 2021) Good relationships are founded upon the relationship we have with God and secondly with ourselves, The Bible tells us in the book of Mark; “and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart”,,, and ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ {Mark 12:3031} in other words, I need to receive the love that God has for me, and I also need to love myself…. that’s how I can love others.

Heavenly Father, I believe you are God. You are the Creator of Heaven and Earth. You are the God of eternity. You are the ‘Lover’ of my soul.
