How's Your Love Life? - Week Four

How Do We Love Ourselves?

Did you read all the things God loves about you in the photo above? In order to recognize our worth, we have to truly grasp and believe how valuable we are to God!  We are so special to Him, that He sent His Son to die for us - even while we were still sinners....don't forget this important truth!

So how do we love ourselves in a healthy and balanced way?  Three things we must do...

1) We must choose to receive God's love = His gift of salvation
God's gift of eternal life is for everyone - not just those who appear to have it all together. Romans 6:23 reminds us that the wages of sin is eternal death but the gift of God is eternal life! Have you received His gift? If you have questions on how to do this, please don't hesitate to contact me.

2) We must choose to refuse to be deceived into thinking we have to be more or do more to deserve love. The Enemy wants us to think we have to do more good or be more "spiritual" in order for God to love us, in order for us to be worthy of loving ourselves and capable of loving others. Don't fall for his lies - he is the deceiver and father of lies. Ephesians 5:6a reminds us not to be deceived with empty, useless words.

3) We must choose to believe God's Truth.
Scripture is full of the truth of God's love for us and the value that comes from being His workmanship (Eph. 2:10)...we just have to choose to believe His Word or believe the lies of the Enemy. The world is full of ways that get us to focus on how we don't measure up to its standards of looks, money, success, worth, etc. These are traps we must not fall into - instead set your mind and focus on God and His Truth about you.

Action: Receive God's Love......Refuse to be Deceived...and Believe God's truth that you are worth loving!
