“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” I remember reading these words by MLK in high school and not truly understanding it. Part of the reason behind my lack of understanding was because of my inexperience with life. I was too young to truly know that the burden of hate is heavier than the burden of love. But I also wasn’t self-aware enough to realize that I didn’t even know how to adequately love myself. My faith in my formative years was so upward and outward focused that I often ignored self-care. So how can we “love our neighbors as we love ourselves” if we do not know how to love ourselves in a healthy way? This is precisely what we will be exploring at our webinar this Sunday.
