Love Found to be Secret to Mental Health

VICTORIA, British Columbia - Feb. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- The kind of love described in Biblical passages is undeserved or unconditional favour. This is the love God had for the world in giving Jesus to be a sacrifice for sin. This love prefers to die rather than to kill because it is sacrificial in imitation of the love of Jesus in taking on the sins of the world in his suffering and death. It is the love we must have for everyone.

This love is the foundation of a child's sense of self-worth and forms the ability to give love in relationships as the child develops into adulthood. A child who was not given enough love, may not have enough love to give, says Daniel Keeran, MSW, President of the College of Mental Health Counselling in Victoria, Canada.

Colossians 3:12-14 - Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
