Do you practice self-love? How much do you care and love yourself? I believe it is vital for us to embrace the way we are. Today, we are here because God LOVED us, created us, and formed us in our mother’s womb. It is the wonder of creation.
Jeremiah chap 1 : 5 ( NIV) ”Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Are you always busy at work? Are you always worried over your projects and commitments in life that they have made you weary and tired? Are you always running around for something?
Some are always trying to achieve something. In the process of acquiring specific achievements in life, we tend to forget to love ourselves. We may lose out on seeing the goodness of God along the process. I think it is not a problem to be positive and ambitious, but always trying to achieve something makes you tired within your soul.
We can’t please everybody around us. Some people, we have just to let go. Those who stay with us will stay and rise together. Certain toxic people, although how much we love to spend time with them, if they don’t bring out the best in us, it is wise to leave.
How do we practice self-love? We can only learn to love ourselves when we realize it is God who created us. We were once a human embryo, as in the picture above. There is a plan and purpose. We only can LOVE when we learn our life doesn’t belong to us anymore, but it is for the glory of God, we will know to take care of the person God created, which is you and me.
Genesis 2:7 (NIV) “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
Always remember the breath of life in us is a gift from God. Our life is a gift from God. We are to treasure every moment of it.
Believe the essential part is embracing God’s love upon us. The famous verse John chap 3: 16 ( NIV) ” For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. This eternal life is the Life of God in us NOW. It is not referring to life after death.
We need to learn to focus upon the Lord and receive His Love in our lives today. When we know to receive God’s love upon our life, that is when we learn to treasure our lives. We learn to love ourselves. There would be so much love in us, and we can share the love with the people around us. After all, love is the greatest. We can never be the same anymore because we have this Eternal Life in us.
