And the best thing you can do is always preach the pure, unadulterated Word of God.

Do it simply so it's not hard for them to understand and they can do it and love them.

If they feel that you love them and that you're genuine, they're going to listen to you.

People are desperate to be loved.

Now, you know, you may have to bring a word of correction at different times.

But Paul told Timothy to preach the word and to...

encourage, warn, urge, and rebuke.

So we're not supposed to just do nothing but try to make people feel good about themselves, but that has to be a large part of it.

Otherwise they, because to be honest, most people just don't like themselves.

They don't like themselves because of something.

And we have to teach people that you can't, I can't give away what I don't have.

So I had to receive God's love and then learn how to love myself in a balanced way, not a selfish way.

And then give that away to other people.

Then you complete the cycle of love.

God loves you.

You love yourself.

You love God.

You love other people.

And, uh,

I think you're probably doing exactly what you need to be doing.
