How Do You See Yourself?

There’s an interesting occurrence of love in the creation account found in the Jewish Old Testament. Here, the Creator does something extraordinary.

At the end of each day, after making animals or trees, God said, “It is good.” The Creator looked at His creation and thanked Himself. He gave Himself self-love. If God can praise Himself by saying, “It is good,” then you can do the same. You can look at your life, personality, or body and praise it by saying, “It is good.”

This should come easily and naturally. If you can’t do this without it hurting inside, perhaps you need a break and a time to love on self more. Awareness of who you are and calling it “good” leads to acceptance and even perfection.

Try it now. Look upon yourself and say, “It is good.”
