You Can’t Give Away What You Don’t Have

30 Jan You Can’t Give Away What You Don’t Have

Scripture says we are to “love others as we love ourselves” (Mark 12:33, author’s paraphrase).  Maybe the reason there is so much harsh treatment of others is that people hate themselves. They don’t have an understanding of how deeply God loves and values them, and as a result feel “less-than” and condemned most of the time. They can’t give to others what they don’t have, so they project that same attitude toward those around them!
