038 – Why Is it So Hard to Love Yourself? The Bible Speaks to You: Embracing the Mindset of Christ
-
- Christianity
038 – There's a key in the Bible that explains the only way to really love yourself.
It's about reflecting God's love.
But it's way too easy to think of all the reasons why you have a hard time loving yourself. Here are just a few I have struggled with:
People say it's selfish to love yourselfYou don't feel worthy because of past mistakesThinking you have to be perfect before you or anyone can love youA bad relationship that ended because the other person didn't know how to love themselves or you, but you end up thinking you are not lovable when it was their fault.A heavy atmosphere of guilt and shame from culture or religion In this episode, I share some very personal experiences that helped me learn to love myself. It comes down to learning to love others as well. But the real key is to realize that God is the source of the love and you are not.
Learn to love yourself and others with God's love instead of your human love. It will make all the difference in how you see yourself and others, how you treat yourself and others, and how you love yourself and others.
