Yes God wants us to love ourselves first before we love others. Surely how can we ask God to enable us love others while we are not able to love ourselves. We are God's work created in Christ Jesus. We were fearfully and wonderfully made. Lets trust in the Lord with all our hearts.

Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." He already assumed that we all love ourselves. This is true when the definition is Biblical set. We all seek our own good and happiness. Some seek it through suicide, because they want out of their live situation. Some seek it with alcohol and others with drugs, so seek it serving others.



Today, the world pushes self-love and self-esteem. The question comes up, "What is it that I am valuing to make me feel worthy, loved, happy?" If you base your self worth on your looks, you will strive for outer beauty that will only cause heartache as you age. If you base it upon kindness, you will be accomplished when you fulfill that. If you place your worth, as the blood of Jesus Christ, you will experience a relationship free from the entanglements of worrying about marital status, beautiful appearance, or wealth. What is your worth? What are you valuing that causes you to feel that you have arrived and are worthy of love? Upon what are you focusing?

Well yes of course, if God is all knowing and God loves you so much he would send his only begotten son to suffer and die for you. You must mean a great deal brother.



I suppose the concern would be loving oneself at the expense of others or ostentatious displays of vanity. Prayer and meditation on scripture will illuminate exactly where the fulcrum of self-appreciation and vanity is.
