Love Yourself

Greetings to all; this week, let us choose to love and feel good about ourselves as we trust who God says we are.

We know about loving others because it was one of the greatest new commandments from Jesus. However, a key element and the part we tend to forget and neglect are "as yourself." When we lack self-love, we don't even like ourselves, making it challenging to love others. We cannot give what we don't have.

Mark 12:31a (MSG)

31 And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'

Lesson: It can come off as selfish to some when we say we love ourselves. But with humility and from a Godly perspective, it is normal and healthy. As we love ourselves, let us feel good about loving ourselves and don't allow a lack of self-love to make us limit our potential by doubting who we are and what we can achieve.
