How do I love thee?

  • I love Morgan.
  • I get mad at Morgan sometimes, but I get over it.
  • I understand Morgan's motives most of the time, but every now and then I don't really get Morgan. However, I always get over that and move on to loving Morgan again.
  • I constantly learn new things about Morgan. Praise God, because He opens my eyes to who Morgan is inside and allows me to see Morgan's heart.
  • I know Morgan has faults and Morgan messes up and Morgan does things wrong. I know Morgan doesn't even always see that Morgan does things wrong. But I still love Morgan despite that.
  • Sometimes I do things that hurt Morgan. And then I have trouble forgiving Morgan, but I never really stop loving Morgan.
  • Fact is, I love Morgan unconditionally. I don't think anything could ever make me stop loving Morgan, because I wouldn't really know how to stop loving Morgan, truth be told. I just do it because that's the way God created me.

And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

-Matthew 22:39

After reading this verse, I asked myself, "How do I really love myself?" And looked at it as this is how I should love others.

How do you love yourself? Think about it like I did. And replace your name with the name of someone you struggle to love.
