'LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF' Galatians 5:14
That's the Bible in a nutshell, people.
We hear this verse, but do we really appreciate it? Why doesn't it say Love your neighbor as your spouse, or child, or as you love God? It advocates loving your neighbor as yourself because the highest form of human love is the love of self. Our love for others may wane, we may someday decide we don't love our mate after all, but we will always fight tooth and nail for ourselves, because at the end of the day--admit it, you know it's true--you love yourself. Think about it. After all, this is the kind of love God advocates for our fellow man(kind).
