Love

God loves me not because I feel it, but because He wills my good. He died for me on the Cross to give me the Spirit so I can discipline myself to get to heaven. I AM LOVED. 

Love is to will the good of the other. 

Love is not a feeling it is a choice. 

Love is a discipline. 

We Love God: (disciplining ourselves to follow the commandments)

Love of neighbor: (telling them the truth of God’s love so they can discipline themselves to get to heaven)

We love our neighbor as we love ourselves; Love of self: (see below)

Discipline is the strongest and highest form of self love. 

It's choosing what's best for you in the future, rather than what's easy for you in the moment. 

Self-discipline is an act of self-love that involves consistently caring for and respecting yourself. 

Self-discipline builds confidence and trust in yourself by doing what you say you're going to do. By aligning your actions to your thoughts. From thinking, to doing, to being. 

Self-discipline involves ignoring current pleasures for bigger rewards to come. It is quite literally telling yourself that you will delay instant gratification and comfort for better things to come in the future. 

True self-love is how you manage yourself in the face of adversity. What you are willing to do to create the version of yourself you admire the most.

True self-love is hard. It is the hardest yet most rewarding thing you can ever do.
