This blog is dedicated to M.T. who runs an online exercise class I used to subscribe to. It was inspired by the main points in a talk she gave.
Love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18; NLT).
Lord,
I want to love my neighbour,
But I do not love my self.
Maybe I could somehow try
To like myself a bit, instead?
Yet I cannot like myself:
I’m looking through my mother’s eyes –
So, may I be kind to self and others:
Jesus, hear my cries!
Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me (Psalm 142:6; NLT).
