I think God would appreciate it much more if we did for ALL, rather than only for Him, Because "only for Him," excludes ourself...

that is precisely the reason i started to think twice about religion.. when i was a depressed, angstful, pre-teen trying to find myself, checking out all these youth groups and churches because my friends went, trying to buy into the idea of god.. which really did seem good at the time.. i began to think about things for myself. what about ME? if god was so good, shouldn't he want us to live for OURSELVES first and foremost than for him?? why LOVE god and try to have a relationship with god when the first step, at least for me, was learning to love myself. and to me.. a good relationship with 'god' means a good relationship with yourself.
