I esteem you very highly. When you receive this true fact into your heart, it will not be difficult for you to esteem others higher than yourself. When your focus is on how others treat you or on yourself and your own needs, it is impossible for you to esteem others higher than yourself.
Another true fact is that most relationships can be healed if you do esteem others higher than yourself. Many people say the way to happiness is JOY. Jesus first, others second, and yourself last.
This simply does not work. Yes, I want you to seek Me first and My Kingdom. However, above all I want you to know how much I love you and I want you to receive My love. You cannot give My love until you receive My love.
Stop condemning yourself and take time to rest and receive My love in all of its fulness. When you know that nothing (not even your own sin and disobedience) can separate you from My love, your relationships with others will be founded upon My love within you.
PHILIPPIANS 2:3
