Everyone always says that "how you treat other people and what you think about them is a reflection of how you view yourself."
But that's not how it is with me.
There is this incredible love for people instilled inside of me that I can't help but care about people. I don't struggle with thoughts of anger or judgment towards really anyone honestly truly. I feel such compassion and moved to talk to people and encourage them.
And that should make no sense.
I beat myself up for making the littlest mistakes but can "overlook a multitude of offenses" in others? I can dole out heartfelt compliments until the cows come home, but will not believe a single one told to me?
Why is this?? Does this mean that there is something wrong with me?
The Bible says to "love your neighbor as yourself." heck, I would have no friends if I did that!
Why am I this reverse from the norm? Why do my actions towards people not reflect my feelings towards myself?

Just what I've been chewing on lately.
