Love Yourself
We need to love ourselves. Accept yourself - love yourself as you are, not as you might have been or might be. Be kind to yourself and you will be kind to others: let others be kind to you and you’ll be kind to yourself. Allow others be compassionate to you and you will look on yourself with love - and that’s how God looks on you.
