A prayer I heard: Dear God, Help me see through Your eyes. Help me hear through Your ears, feel with Your heart, and when prompted, speak and write with Your words.
I see self-love as recognising your faults and flaws, which we all have. Once we understand our own shortfalls and to work on them to better who you are, and in doing so, you recognise God's will and lead to self-love then you are able to be more tolerant of others, as you understand there struggle is the same struggle that you are going through. Then you can love others.
Sometimes it is too much to ask to love yourself or forgive yourself. But it is usually possible to have compassion for yourself. For me self compassion is about stopping the self harm and doing what is in my own best interest. I have been told by a very dark entity that if everyone just was honest with themselves and did what was really and truly in their own best interest the devil.would have nothing to and nobody to do it with. But doing what is in your own best interest is so hard. It means walking away from a power struggle, refusing to manipulate or over control or lash out. It means emotional regulation and pausing to count to ten first. Sometimes it means saying no or ending a relationship. Sometimes it means takimg responsibility for doimg something hurtful. These are practical things that are sometimes more doable and actionable than trying to feel good about yourself. This dark entity also told me that when someone passes a difficult self compassion exam and learns to do what is best for themselves that heaven responds with a miracle. I tried it. He is not wrong.
the word consequence is being used falsely. If I break something the consequence could be that I injure myself and it hurts. The reaction of my parents and their decision to punish me for it is not a consequence of my behavior, is just the way they decide to respond to my acts.
I have no problem with forgiveness. For some reason it comes easily to me. My mom lived a hard life, and then married my father, an alcoholic abusive man. He beat her. And when she found out what he did to my sister and me, it was like she couldn't stop being angry and hated him. I forgave him, even though thankfully due to DID I don't remember what he did, but I think my mom felt it was her fault because she had to work two to three jobs because my father drank his paycheck. She couldn't be home and he took advantage of her absence. It took years of working with her in letting it go, to forgive herself and then forgiving him. She was finally able to release it shortly before she passed away. My mom served two proselyting missions after we forced our parents to divorce when I was leaving home to go to University. He would have killed her otherwise and we knew that. My mom had a hard life. Her two proselytizing missions were the happiest four years of her life. I thank God for allowing her to have that love and blessing.
Thank you!🙏❤️❤️❤️

Can you cover shattering traumas of sadistic daily assault, torture, towards a child by a parent?

Concerning forgiveness how do we “Let it go”? It sounds so simple but it keeps coming back.

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is from Leviticus 19:18. Has nothing to do with Jesus
