Don't forget...

I love my husband and kids so much, that I sometimes forget to breath. I forget about me. I forget to examine/assess myself. And when I do come to my senses, I start hating myself, because what I see when I do assess myself, is not what I want to see. That is the mistake so many of us make. We start asking the question "WHY?" Instead of "HOW?"
We have to love unconditionally. We have to die to self and esteem others higher. But you know what, if it does not come naturally, it's probably loving not with a Godly love.
I think I sometimes battle with that, but God is so faithful. He reminds me that I am important too. I cannot love my husband, or my kids so much that I forget about myself.
God loves me so much, but He will never forget about Himself. I have to love... I need to love... I want to love, but it has to be a love that pleases God.
As a wife, as a mother, I need to love myself in order for me to be healthy. Loving myself enables me to see my husband and kids in a better way.
When I battle with myself, and not love myself, I will never be able to freely love my husband, kids and others the way God wants me too. I am important to God if others don't see me as that. I am obligated to love myself in order for my kids to see that, that is important.
In His love
