Manna for Your Morning

But if you forget about yourself and focus on the beauty of His radiance, then you will shine with His light. Don’t make the mistake of living a life focused on yourself. Forget yourself.

You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. — Psalm 139:1-4 (MSG) God knows everything about us, every thought and every secret and yet, He still loves us.

The 2nd most important commandment is to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. If you are having difficulty loving your neighbor, make sure you love the person in the mirror, inside and out. If you don't like what you see, lay on God's altar and let His Spirit work in you, a new creation.
