Loving God By Loving Yourself

Some people think that it’s selfish to love yourself. But there’s a difference between loving yourself and an unhealthy ego with people thinking more highly of themselves than they should. God actually requires you to love yourself because you are His magnificent masterpiece. When you love yourself, you are then glorifying God for His one of a kind divine creation. You belong to God, but, when God made you, He also presented you as a precious gift to yourself. Therefore, God wants you to love, cherish, protect, and embrace the gift of you. So, be gentle with yourself. Talk to yourself with love. Take yourself on a date. Have some me time. Love yourself by protecting your spirit, mind, heart, body, and soul from impurities. Live righteously. Give yourself the best by not accepting less than you deserve. Detach from people who don’t love, cherish, nurture, honor, and respect the magnificent masterpiece that God created in you. Show God love by the love you show to yourself.

Prayer:

Dear Father God,

Thank You Lord for the magnificent masterpiece that You created in me. I know that I belong to You and that I am also a gift to me from You. Lord I love, honor, cherish, and respect the gift of me and I celebrate the gift of me today and everyday. Lord, I ask that You give me the spiritual insight in how to best show myself love and thereby honor You with my spirit, mind, heart, body, and soul. I love you Lord and give You all the glory, honor, and praise for allowing me to show You love by the love I show to myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:19

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 6:20


He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Proverbs 19:8
