God loves me. He loved me yesterday, he loves me today and he will love me forever despite my weaknesses, my frailties and my mistakes. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
I love myself. I love what God loves and God loves me. I love who I am and who I am becoming. I love my strengths for they make me a servant of God. I love my weaknesses for they make me dependent on God. I love myself carefully and cautiously for it is from my self love that I live out my love for you.
I love you. I acknowledge these words may make you feel uncomfortable but I love you anyway. I love you as a reflection of how much I love myself. Therefore I am committed to supporting you in your effort to grow in the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
I love God. I will love him today, tomorrow and forever. I love him without reservation. I love him without insult. I love him because he first loved me. I acknowledge his mercy when I am wrong. I acknowledge his grace when I am right. I accept his mercy and grace and the love that is revealed in its’ application. God loved me before I was born and he will love me into his presence for God is LOVE.
