Self-Love
How Self-Love Grows
Self-love grows, not through an endless search into self, but through grace—by accepting God’s love and nurturing a personal relationship with Him. This means trusting in that which is greater than self and making the choice, moment by moment, to accept the gift of God’s grace.
You were created in the image of God.
God loves you unconditionally despite your dirt.
You are of value because God created you.
You were given unique talents to love and serve the world around you.
Because value is not a function of dirt, this does not mean ignore the dirt because God will love you anyway. But as you accept God’s love, you will behave more lovingly because you will be transformed.
