Is It Possible To Love Others More Than Urself? by Free(f): 1:11am On Oct 11, 2006
The Bible says,
'We are wonderfully and reverfully made' (Ps. 139:14 PP).
What that means is that our lifeforce is precious in God's sight so how much more should we daily thank God for our lifeforce?

Love Yourself for you are precious in God's sight. In this respect, everyone is born with self-esteem and should maintain it on this merit alone.

If you feel your soul is in right-standing with God, then you should all the more be proud of who you are. The soul/spirit is the essence of who we are and if God tells us to Love, respect, and value our body/Temple how much more the soul? You are a completed person and that's all that matters.

Now as you are so 'completed' daily thank God for your health and strength because it is a gift. Your eyesight, hearing, ability to walk, talk, think, function are priceless gifts that we too often take for granted. Just let one aspect be taken from you and you will come to value the pricelessness of good health.

Also, if you are following the spiritual principles as expressed in the Bible then you should walk in the highest esteem as you know you are doing all the good things that should bring peace, prosperity and happiness. If you are treating all fairly then when Satan's opposition comes against you, just crush it with the weapon of truth. That done, continue on in the righteous, peaceful spirit that is about you.


I hear many people say that we should not love others more than we love ourselves
And if I give my life to save someone else's life, will you still say that I love myself more than this person?

I think itz possible to Love others than you Love yourself, but the Bible specifically told us to "Love your Neighbor as Yourself": Which means you must first love yourself then Love your Neighbor just as you love yourself and not more than you love yourself.
