This month's copywork list.
Leviticus 19:18, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.” For almost four thousand years mankind assumed that each one had love for oneself. Even Paul makes this assumption in Ephesians 5:29, “Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.” Today is different, today there are people who hate who they are designed to be, they hate their bodies to the point of mutilation. Is it reasonable to expect others to love you if you have chosen to hate yourself? Is it reasonable to expect to be treated with kindness and respect when you have chosen to treat yourself with hatred and disrespect? Self hatred happens when we begin to follow an UNholy spirit, one that will do all it is able to have someone destroy themself.
