Talk
about loving myself. Is it still a taboo to talk about it?!
Now
I believe – contrary to the traditional teachings of some preachers – that the
godly, healthy love for yourself is absolutely essential if you want to perform
God's calling, to accomplish your mission in this life.
I
heard somebody saying the other day: to love yourself is a lot more difficult than you may
think.
I
dare anybody to prove me that Jesus taught that you should hate yourself. Can
you imagine Jesus hating Himself? How could He have ever performed the works that He did
if He hated Himself? That’s unthinkable! Until you have a healthy love for
yourself you will just be a depressed mental slave incapable of performing what
God call you to do. The minute you find your identity you acquire a healthy
respect and love for yourself. And how can you do it?

Once
upon a time there was a beautiful princess. Her parents were noble people with
great influence on the kingdom, and gave her a great upbringing. She was
beautiful, very well mannered, with great respect for others and for herself
and her future place in the kingdom. She met the son of the king and queen and
they fell in love. It was the most beautiful love anybody could ever imagine.
But
soon, by some twist of fate, there was a rebellion followed by war and she was
taken captive by the enemies and driven to a dark kingdom.
