Great post! We really must love ourselves first fully before we can love and accept another human being exactly as they are. I have learned this the hard way too many times. I feel blessed by all that it took to make me understand this truth. It has exponentially increased the amount of love I am able to give and most importantly accept from both myself and others. We are truly worthy of those gifts. Blessings to you!
You said it all
Amen!
