What does it mean to you to love God and love others as you love yourself?
Love is the greatest gift. It is the most valuable yet unpriceable gift that anyone can share. Sometimes we don't realize how much we are loved by others because we don't quite love our self. The key goes back to the Creator. His love is within each of us. Love to me is to recognize His love for me, so that I may love myself and therefore it is natural to love others as I love myself.
As it is written, faith, hope, and love abide, but the greatest of these is LOVE. (1 Corinth 13)
