You are very important part two

Have you ever sat down to pay your bills and you find that you have just enough.  That is a good feeling.  In the next moment you find yourself at the mall looking at a dress worth a fraction of what you spent on bills and you hesitate like you are not worth it.    You work all day long for the check and then get convicted when you find that you need to spend some on yourself.  That is the sort of self-hatred the enemy feeds on.  The Bible says that we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  If you don't love yourself, then how can you ever see the worth in anybody else.  While you are working on other people, take some time and work on you.  Without you, the major institution of the church, government and marriage would fail.  A great Missionary named Authrine Watson once said, "We want better Christians, but if they are better people, they will be better Christians".
