For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14 NLT
You are more than enough. Your true identity is found in Christ. And when you know this and experience this you will inevitably experience how amazing the love of Christ is toward you.
And babe, once you get that understanding, you will understand exactly what the verse means when it arrests you to love another as you love yourself.
I mean you will have a Christ like confidence purely because you have a knowing that God has made you so different and so amazing and that you are more than enough, more than equipped for what He has planned to do in you and through you.
And so, you may ask, 'what does that even gotta do with loving my neighbour as myself'.
Well, babe, when you know who Christ calls you to be, you realise how you're not here for yourself but for others. We here to build each other up, we here to allow the Spirit of God to live in us and have Him lead us into spaces and places where His love will the overflow through us into the lives of others.
If God truly lives within you, and you truly live within Him. Then surely, it will be super easy to love others how you love you. It will become your nature.
All of us are flawed and don't know it all, so task yourself and lean into Jesus and allow Him to show you His love toward you and so He will be your guide on how to treat yourself kinder.
Naturally and by His Spirit, you will inevitably Love others as your love yourself. And importantly how Christ loves us.
Stay blessed, and don't forget to be a blessing.
♥️
