Joyce Meyers was talking about when we cannot love others if we don't love ourselves. She stated that if we do something nice for someone everyday that we wouldn't have to preach. It is a challenge to look outside ourselves.
Luke 10:29 : "who is my neighbour?"
- What am I closing my eyes to because I don't want to get involved?
- We often study the steps of Jesus (where he went and who he spoke to) but perhaps we need to study the "Stops" of Jesus, and see what made Him stop.
Luke 15: 11 The tale of the prodigal son, the son started with "give me" but when he returned to his father he said "make me".
- We need to move from GIVE ME to MAKE ME.
Colossians 3: 14 "put on love"
- What you think about early in the morning will set the tone for the whole day
- Maybe what you dislike the most about yourself is what God wants to use.
Then Joyce talked about how we choose our clothes very carefully for important occasions.
Revelation 16:15
- We need to clothe ourselves in love
- Take the time to clothe yourself instead of just wearing what you slept in!
- Be careful of your spiritual clothes
Matt 24:12
- 2 things will make the difference: 1) Relationship with God; 2) What goes on behind closed doors

OMG, those are thoughts that have been going around in my head for days and I have been praying through how to let others know those truths! I work with many women who do not know how to love themselves. I plan to print this out! And then do you know if any of her books address this topic as well?
"it's the STOPS He made." I think that for as long as I live - I will always remember this and from now on, I will always be more like a postal truck and "make frequent stops." I love you Toots!
