A few years ago when I went on a mission to grow myself I realized my love wasn't unconditional.

I only loved myself when I thought I earned it, when I deserved it.

The problem is there's plenty of times in life when our default brain is quick to tell us we don't deserve it.

What happens then?  You beat yourself up, you bully yourself - you find yourself in an emotional state that leads to destructive actions.

I know that's what I do - and it never leads to anything positive. 

God's truth tells us our external reflects our internal. So if we struggle to love ourselves unconditionally we're going to struggle to give or receive unconditional love from others. 

Luckily God also gives us the perfect example of love. God is love. Growing to be more like Him includes learning to love ourselves.   

And that is something I'm still a work-in-progress on. Join me on this podcast to hear my journey and how to know if this is holding you back in your life.
