Loving Ourselves God’s Way

Jesus calls us to love others 

As we love ourselves

How do we love others

If we don’t know how to love ourselves

We look to how God loves us

We take His lead

We ask for God’s lens to 

See us the way

God sees us

God loves us 

Fully

Dearly

Fiercely

Tenderly

Attentively

God knows our being

Nothing is hidden from Him

And He still claims us as His

Beloved

Chosen

The Apple of His eyes

In Whom He is well pleased

God rejoices over us

He made us for His pleasure

God takes joy over us

Because each of us 

Uniquely reflect His glory

Only we 

Each of us

Can reflect 

A unique aspect of 

God’s glory

Christ saw us on the other side of the cross

And willingly hung on the cross

To

Gain 

Us

The Triune God was pleased

To pay the biggest price

For us

To 

Gain 

Us

When we struggle with 

Our failings

Our moments

Our own company

Invite the Holy Spirit 

Into the situation

Into the moment

Offer the moment

Unto God

As we live this and each moment

For God

Not for ourselves

Offering ourselves as 

Living Sacrifice

Fully enter the moment

Offer the moment

Live this moment

For Him

Accept the outcome of the moment

As we live 

For and

Unto

God

Choosing to 

See ourselves the way 

God sees us

Love ourselves the way

God loves us

For

Who are we

That we would override

God of

His view toward us

His love for us

Oh how He loves you and me

How God desires that we would

See ourselves the way 

He sees us

Love ourselves the way 

He loves us

Through the blood of Jesus on the cross

Through the indwelling Holy Spirit

God accomplished this

Reality 

For us

It is accomplished

It is finished

It is available 

For the taking

Now
