Conversations With Cinthia

An old hymn celebrates, "What a Friend we have in Jesus!"  Through Jesus, we enjoy the friendship of God, and we are called His friends.  Cinthia explains that this friendship with God is the fountain from which we learn to be a friend to ourselves and others.  Self-care is a good thing when it flows from our friendship with God, and it enables us to love others well.  But starting with efforts at self-love in hopes of then extending that love to God and others rarely has the outcome we desire.  Consider with Cinthia how to start with the Love that is perfect and model your relationships with self and others after His relationship style.
