FROM ROBERT H. SHULLER’S: SELF LOVE THE DYNAMIC FORCE OF SUCCESS MRS. SMOTHER MOTHER

1. Learn to LOVE YOURSELF-the secret of happiness in life, in love, in everything you do.

Love yourself-’-----or else become overly possessive. The classic illustrati­on of this form of self-destructio­n is the overly possessive mother.

I recall one particular­ly fearridden woman. She projected her fears on her growing son. She imagined he might get hurt in a variety of ways. This resulted not only in overposses­siveness, but in an overly protective attitude. Since she was afraid her son might drown, he never learned to swim. He never joined the Boy Scouts; she was afraid he might get lost on a mountain trip. He was never permitted to participat­e in athletics; he might get injured or even be killed. Today he is a tall, broad-shouldered, muscular, two-hundred pound baby.

Parents-----love yourself or spoil your children.

FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE: READ IT, BELIEVE IT, DO IT Wherewitha­l shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119:9

ME NOMUNI NA KALOU VINAKA KEI NA SAUTU ME NOMUNI NA SAUTU NI KALOU NI ISIRELI KEI VITI
