Positive Quote for the Week: Truly Love Yourself

“In order for you to truly love those around you, you have to learn to love yourself first!” Erica Willis

One thing that we have to understand is the fact that it is almost impossible to truly love the people in your life if you don’t love yourself. As Christians one of the primary characteristics that He commands us to radiate is love. We were created in the image of God and God is absolute love and we need to strive to develop His characteristics as much as we possibly can. The fact is that it has to begin with us loving ourselves.

Every single one of us was created with unique characteristics and qualities that make you stand apart from everyone else. A lot of times what we tend to do is shy away from those distinct individualities that the Lord intended for us to embrace. The bottom line is that there is not one person on Earth that is perfect, but because of social media and television we often forget that fact.

We all have certain things within ourselves that we wish we could alter or modify. However, that very thing that you want to change about yourself is the same thing that the Lord wants to use for His divine Purpose. Instead of shying away from your individualized characteristics, learn how to fully embrace them

When we can truly love ourselves, it allows us to genuinely love others. The best way to learn how to truly accept the person that you are is by getting into the Word of God. His love for us is displayed in so many areas throughout the Holy Scriptures that you will begin to change the way that you feel about yourself. It has the ability to completely renew your mind, Romans 12:2.

It is so important to view yourself in the same light that the Lord views you in. He spent time creating every single aspect of who you are with the knowing that you would be destined for greatness. Never allow the opinions of others prevent you from truly loving all of you!

Scriptures pertaining to loving yourself:

Psalm 139:14 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”

Proverbs 19:8 “He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will find good.”

Psalm 36:9 “For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light!”

Psalm 12:25 “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.

1 John 4:19 “We love Him because He first loved us.”
