Should We Love Ourselves?

Title: Should We Love Ourselves?

Description: We hear so much about self-love and self-care (“You do you!” “Live your truth.” “Don’t care about what others think!”) these days. Sure, loving and caring for ourselves help us draw healthy boundaries and ensure that we’re treated properly, but sometimes we gotta admit that self-love isn’t enough. 

No matter how much we affirm ourselves, it doesn’t remove our problems of self-doubt or fill the emptiness in our hearts. At the end of the day, self-love is largely an effort to save ourselves, which we just can’t do. 

We need a stronger, greater love to pull us up and anchor us. Only God can do that. 

So let’s go to Him and learn His way of love.

Should We Love Ourselves? “You really beat yourself up too much. I bet you’re the only one who felt you did a lousy job,” I said to my friend. She had just told me about her stressful experience acting with a stellar cast of veteran actors in her most recent show—which included an embarrassing case of stage fright on opening night.
