Loving yourself may seem contradictory to Christian teaching but that is not the case. In fact, God commands us to love ourselves.
When we entertain thoughts of self-hate, self-loathing, self-pity, our mind becomes negative. This pattern of thinking simply invites worry in. For example, if you see yourself as unworthy, you will be easily tempted to worry about rejection. Whereas learning to see yourself as precious and priceless in the eyes of God keeps you from worrying about or even being affected by actual rejection of people.
Find ways to talk nice to yourself. Read the Bible about how much God loves you; not because of what you’ve done or not done, but simply because you are His child. Ask Him in prayer how He loves you. Love yourself and hate worry on this “Not Gonna Worry” Wednesday.
