Learn to love yourself as God loves you. 4 STEPS Continue

-
In my last post I described how I see the best way is for anyone to get to know and love themselves.
lets start with step one and delve deeper in the next few posts.


1.   Time with God.


There is an immense shifting in your soul when you start to crave the word of God,  when you start to leave your own needs and wants behind and start to ask God for His will in your life. 
BUT believe me it is not easy at first.

Habits 


In this day and age whare every second is a second to short the usual exscuse of not enough time usually surfaces if it comes to the idea of spending time with God.  
This is the first hurdle to overcome if you want to start to know and love yourself as God does.  It is very important to set a habbit of studying the bible regularly.  

Here is some tips:


1)  Everyone these days has their cell phone with them 24/7.   One easy way is to get yourself earphones and start listening to your denomination or if you don't have a denomination - start listening to podcast of Christian radio broadcasts.  This is an easy way to introduce the Word of God to yourself on a regular basis and still be able to do it while you are at work or at home or anywhere.

2)  Wake 20 min earlier than normal.  That is all it takes a few minutes in the day where you can be alone with God.  Read his Word,  spend time where you can be either silent with Him or engage in prayer.


Start with these few steps for a week.  I will post some more ways on teaching yourself to spend time with God in the next few posts.

If you have some other ideas on how te spend time with God please let us know with comments.


Peace for you and remember Life is worth Loving.

Devine experience Our whole family (with the exception of my husband because he was studying for an exam) went camping this weekend.  The morning we started setting up camp and it was a lovely busy day.    At 2 o'clock in the afternoon clouds began to rise and heavy thunder began to raw.  Before I could pick up the sail of the Gazebo (not as if it would have help) a Gail force wind of more than 100km / h started blowing.  At that moment my oldest son (7) was at my cousin's camp and I believed he would be safe because they camped in a caravan.  My 6 year old girl was in our tent with my mother.  When the storm broke, the gazebo flipped over the tent,  at that point I tried to hold the gazebo because the tent was attached to it.  With that, the wind began to pick up speed and the hail began to fall.  The wind blew from the west where the tent's opening was.  All I heard was my baby shouting.  The problem was, as soon as ...

Love yourself as God loves you Step 3 - Daily reflexion prayers. Step 3 is on your daily reflexion on your day. It is like writing in a Diary except this diary knows everything.  God wants to hear form you He wants to know what you went trough that day and how you felt.  Not because He does not know but because He want you to acknowledge Him in every walk of your life.  This communication with Him will help you get perspective on your day to day doings - good and bad. Here is a few bible verses to help with this daily exercise. 1 John 5:14  ~ This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ( 1 John 5:14 ) 2 Chronicles 7:14 ~  if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  ( 2 Chronicles 7:14 ) Jer...
