731 The Importance of Loving Yourself

The importance of loving yourself goes far beyond your reflection. It’s the heartbeat of knowing who you are.

“And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself; There is no other commandment greater than these.'” ~ Mark 12:31

There are risks you have NOT loving yourself. The SIDE EFFECTS of NOT loving yourself is:

1. Builds up the “plaque” in the heart.
   • the stuff that eats you
   • negative thoughts
   • continuous put downs
2. Blocks the flow in the heart.
   • your heart is hardening
   • extreme emotions to little emotions
   • numbness
3. Barely surviving.
   • depression
   • withdrawn
   • living on the edge (in the bad way)

The importance of loving yourself is establishing a healthy relationship with yourself. This healthy relationship is the way God sees you.

“When you love yourself the right way, you are cherishing and celebrating the person God made you to be.” ~ Dr. Ed Young (Pastor of Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas)

The one thing that will be a disservice to you, is loving what YOU have made.

Instead though, love yourself and esteem yourself as God’s creation and instrument.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Love yourself!

“It’s not about what you can do, but what God can do through.”

This is the importance of loving yourself.

“One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!”
