21 | Dear Jennifer, I love you. Are we allowed to love ourselves, or is that selfish and worldly?
I had a rough morning over the weekend, with a lot of bullying going on in the battleground of my mind. I had to make a decision in those moments to either stay in a pit of defeat or put forth the energy to renew my mind. I chose to renew my mind and take a more compassionate mindset toward myself. Listen in as I contemplate how God wants us to feel about ourselves.
Disclaimer: How to carry out this truth of loving ourselves in combination with all the principals scripture entails will take much more study and unfolding on my part. We are to be selfless, and God’s mercy does keep us from being consumed. Without Christ we are nothing. There are many instructions in scripture on humility, servanthood, selflessness, etc. But that does not mean we are to condemn ourselves, trash-talk ourselves, or walk with our head down. There is a balance and I am on the journey of figuring out what that is.
Today’s episode is only the beginning of the unfolding of me studying how God wants us to feel about ourselves in a way that aligns with the abundant life Christ wants us to have.
Please give me grace as I share what I learn and trust that God has the answer in His precious word. He wants us to know this answer!
