Thank you Lord and iloveyou! Why? Not because of i have much of something but because i have a little of everything i need and more of You.

God says you're lovable. This is so important because you can't fulfill God's commandment to "love your neighbor as yourself" until you believe this. If you don't feel lovable, you can't love anybody else. Our verse today says a couple things about God's love for us. God loves you consistently -- He doesn't love you one day and not the next. He doesn't love you on your good days and not on your bad days. God is 100% consistent in his love for you. God loves you unconditionally -- He says, "I will always love you and it is unconditional. You don't earn it." He doesn't say, "I love you if you're good, or if you do these things, or because you look this way or you do these things." You never have to wake up in the morning and say, "God, are you going to love me today? Did I read my Bible enough? Did I pray enough?" He loves you consistently no matter who you are or what you do. What is the result when you really understand this? Daniel 10:19 says "God loves you, so don't let anything worry you or frighten you." When I don't have to worry or be afraid of anything, then I am free to give love to everyone around me. (Rick Warrens's Daily Devo)

Speak with love and kindness. This way you'll keep out of frustration and will avoid you from giving one to other people around you.
