“I am not worthy of love.”
“I am not worthy of love.”
Hey friends and readers,
Today I want to discuss loving yourself and why it is clearly what God wants.
Instead of “I am not worthy of love.”, we will focus on “I am inherently deserving of love and joy.”
We must understand that the very root and nature of our being depend on this. The growth, progress, etc.
If you put a plant and ignore it, or are constantly angry at it, it’ll not thrive and will wither away looking poor.
Same is with you. We often have traumas that make is feel like we are not worthy of love, and even not self love. This constantly hurts us in our life. This is the energy that is created.
If we don’t love ourselves, we cannot truly love others as well, we may think so, but there is no way. Loving yourself Is also part of loving God, your Creator. As the commandments are to love God above all else and others as “YOURSELF”.
If you don’t love yourself, you are refusing to see the wonderful creation of God that you are, who he loves.
Breaking through this is not easy, but we take it one step at a time.
Give yourself an intentional gift every day. And by gift I mean a shift in your thinking.
You make a coffee the way you like, sit down and relax with it, see it as a little gift you are giving yourself because of love, or go get yourself a coffee you like. Don’t look at the phone during this time, focus your mind on the moment and on that gift, because you love yourself.
Step by step you can get away from the thinking that you do not deserve love. You absolutely do. God loves you and you should love yourself as well.
Choose to see the good things around you, no matter how small and chose to give yourself these daily gifts and moments.
Blessings.

"As the commandments are to love God above all else and others as “YOURSELF”.

This. Learning to love ourselves (and even to like ourselves, which is different!). Learning that all love comes from God because He is Love, and the love we have for ourselves and others comes straight from Him. As we grow closer to Him, we learn to love as He does.
I don't actually think anyone hates themselves "For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, (Eph 5:29)
While hating ourselves is not the same as not loving ourselves, we must realize that to love ourselves is normal and anyone who does not love himself is mentally disturbed.
Yet the first thing Christ and John the Baptist and the Apostles said was to "repent", which is to change from what we are like to what God wants us to be like.
This also is not the same as not loving yourself, but we change to God's way of life as that is how we are to love ourselves, and God and other people.
Ignorance of how to love others and God is also ignorance of how to love ourselves.
So if we don't know God we effectively don't know how to love ourselves or others.
God loves us, and if we love him in return he will open our eyes to know how to truly love others and ourselves, and the truth shall may you free from effectively not loving yourself due to ignorance of how to live.
We may try to love God and others and ourselves, but without God we can't love anyone.
