We have come to the end of our seminar video clips on The Missing Commandment: Love Yourself. We have come full circle back to the premise of our ministry - loving what God loves. We must love ourselves just as much as God loves us and really likes us. And then we must turn around and love others the same way. As we close in prayer, we hope you have discovered these truths about yourself: I can begin to love myself by being gentle to myself, being grace-filled toward myself, being responsible, caring, and attentive to myself. In this way, I can grow and discover who I am, which is who God says I am. From this place of identity, the Father will unveil my destiny, the plans he has for me. As t

We are convinced that true, spiritual healing ultimately will result in "coming home to the Father's house" - to his loving and healing heart. But in order for that to occur, we must be willing to journey back to our own house - that is, to the circumstances in which we grew up. Often, it is here where the Lord reveals how we were shaped by things that should not have happened to us but did, and by things that should have happened but did not. Contrary to what is often believed, some of the most severe emotional impact on a child and future-adult is not just about abusive actions, but from the absence of loving actions. It is on this journey home that the Father shows us the things in our li

We are never finished being made into God's likeness. We are imperfect children in need of a Father who will never abandon us, shame us, or reject us. He can never give up on us - it's not in his nature. In turn, he asks that you will not abandon yourself, shame yourself, or reject yourself. Just as God never gives up on you, guess what? He asks you to never give up on yourself. Read the personal affirmation below as many times as you need, until you can profess it as truth from your core being. After all, it is the Father's heart for you! "I am free to feel my emotions, work through my emotions, and not shame my emotions. I am free to embrace change and growth within me. I am free to love m

Here we share some wonderful truths about you that agrees with how God sees you. Internalize the words as you read them and then view the video clip below. "I do not have to be perfect in order to be loved, because God loves me as I am - imperfect. This means that I am important even when I have rough edges in my life and when I make mistakes, even big ones. I can fail. I can stumble. God still says, 'I love you!'"

Scripture often uses the word heart when referring to our spirit. Mike Mason, in his excellent book The Mystery of Children, states the following regarding this issue of spirit/heart: "Jesus wants us to become like children because our spirits lived closest to the surface during our childhood. In childhood our hearts are the most transparent, most vulnerable, most malleable. Growing us usually means covering up our spirit more and more with flesh. God wants us to become the person we really are inside, the person we were born to be. Becoming childlike involves peeling away the masks to get back to the real, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed face beneath." (Quoted in "The Missing Commandment: Love Y

"On the healing journey, we learn what happened to us, we realize that it mattered, and we find out where we go next. Soon we will be ready to tell our healing story--when the story of our past no longer controls us. When it is no longer stuffed down inside us, buried alive." (Excerpt from "Loving God, Loving Myself") In this short video clip, we share on the value and importance of our own story.
