Do You really Love Your Self? Part 4



But there is disaster in this type of poverty, because it is a misinterpretation of God’s precious word, and an injustice to the reflection of His heart.  

We are called to love ourselves! We are called to enjoy how God has made us, to delight in our uniqueness, our value, and our worth.  God delights in us, and we also are to delight in who He has created us to be.

You see, God is not calling us to deny who he has made us to be, but rather, who He has not made us to be.  To deny our sinful nature with its temptations and its downfalls.  To deny our selfishness and our stubbornness.  To deny our lust, our pride, our idolatry.  To deny the things that separates us from God.  And only those things.
But, Christians, we are ultimately called to love ourselves - just as God loves us. We are called to delight in ourselves as He delights in us.  And when we do, we will find that gates to loving others have never been so easy to walk through.  We will find that loving others becomes so real, so genuine, and so complete.  We will find that in that beautiful exchange of love between our self and our God, we find the strength and motivation to exchange that same love with our neighbors.

Prayer:
Lord, give us the ability to love ourselves as you love us- in order that we may then learn how to love other people in Jesus Name.

You are Royal!!!

Un-masking the past - Part 2
