LOVE

The second time I received a one on one message from God was after I got to work from a one hour drive from home.  I had experienced an incident which caused me to lose my temper while driving due to the thoughtless and ignorant actions of another.  (I flipped the finger.)  I had been working on a character issue (temper/anger) for a long time.  I knew that losing one's temper and expressing the anger is the bottom rung of murder.  I got to my office and I was so upset at myself for loosing my temper that I cried out to God internally..."I've killed again,...why....why...do I do this?"  Immediately within my head came the words, fully formed and complete:

IT IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LOVE YOU.  IS NOT MY LOVE ENOUGH FOR YOU?  I DIDN'T PUT YOU ON EARTH TO BE LOVED.  I PUT YOU HERE TO LOVE MY PEOPLE. 

Straight forward and true! So simple.  We were not put here on earth to love ourselves, but to give to others others all that love that we would apply to ourselves.  I immediately turned and typed out the message and will never forgot it....which is amazing because my mind was not blessed well with "memory".    (Not yet being "Restored", the knowing is not enough...I still must, each day,  strive to do this!)
