What if the one thing that is keeping us from loving others, is our inability to love ourselves? We can all agree that from the beginning of time, starting with the very first man and lady (Adam and Eve) , there has been a fracture in our human ability to love; a shortage in how we loves God,  a shortage in how we love one another; and a shortage in how we love ourselves. And in the middle of this obvious shortage, Jesus sweeps us away with these powerful words that start first and foremost with loving our God, and then… Mark 12:31 Love your neighbor as yourself.
