I Love Me, I Love Me Not

there was this game that we all played when we were little tots we would pull off a flower's petals while saying, he loves me, he loves me not but if we were to play this game in regards to ourselves would we be honest in saying, I love me not, I love myself? the act of self love is inferred in the word of God to love oneself as God has loved you from the very start for love is a verb it's an action projected towards a person, place or thing but to love oneself what does it comprise of and what does it truly mean? so if loving oneself is a given, why do people commit suicide? if loving oneself is normal behavior, why do people have self-loathing inside? are you in the loving zone? are you capable of loving at all? are you in the loving zone and can you respond to God's call? to love yourself as God loves you to have a respect for yourself that comes shining through now Jacob was in love with Rachel so for her hand he labored seven long years but when it came time her father took advantage of Jacob who was drunk on good cheer Laban gave Leah to wife instead as she was his eldest daughter Laban said this is our custom but for seven more years I'll give you the other now Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah but no progeny did she give to him but Leah unloved by her husband provided him with six healthy children but God loved Leah as she was a devoted disciple of Christ and that is why He blessed her with the gift to give life never let the devil in your ears whisper any disbelief or doubt love yourself as God loves you and it will somehow always work out do i love me? do i love me not? that is the question in life do i love myself with a passion like my Savior Jesus the Christ now when God blesses you while you're in the loving zone don't allow demonic influences to come between you and the Heavenly Throne as it's all about the right relationships that you develop in this life to love yourself, to love others and to have the love of Christ
