A Healthy Love for Yourself & The Princess Identity

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.

Here she was made to work for them, but in order to perform the workvshe was subject to torture and extreme mind control to the point that she forgot who she really was and was made to believe by the controllers that she was nobody, she was nothing and good for nothing, just a despicable creature, because only then she could be a good slave and perform the work without complaining.

And it worked, her former upbringing and her identity was erased from her mind. She only knew one thing now: I am a despicable person with the privilege of working for this important and people. I cannot afford to lose my job and die of starvation, I need to yield to their will and be thankful.

And so it was, she woke up every day with only one thought in mind, perform a good work, be an agreeable servant and cherish the privilege of working there. Although she had unexpected bouts of depression she blamed it on the fact that she was not thankful enough and yielded enough to the good people to whom she worked for. She should remember that she was having food to eat, a place to sleep while many others were dying of starvation on the streets.

But the story doesn't end here. The prince still longing for her love, together with his father, devised a plan to rescue her from the dark kingdom and slavery. He will go to that kingdom disguised as a poor trade man and find a way to meet her and bring back to her the memory of who she was and what was her destiny.

Finally he met her and when she saw him she felt something beautiful inside of her, but she could not make it out what it was. Even before he explained to her what he was doing there and who she really was and what was her destiny she felt a deep love for him. Then things started to came back to her and she was beside herself in joy and freedom of happiness. Her self-esteem came back, her sense of importance was rekindled, but in order to not raise suspicion she would have to pretend for a while that she still was the same slave, although she knew she was not.

The prince explained that although he would love to stay with her longer he had to leave to accomplish the whole plan. He gave her a commission to follow: spread the word to other slaves in the same conditions in order to prepare his return with thousands of soldiers. Everything was in order. The dark and evil kingdom was bound to fall and her capture actually turned out to be for good because now she was instrumental in undermining the dark kingdom from within.

And so it was. The prince came back with thousands of soldiers to find a dark kingdom ready to be overtaken thanks to her that had spread the word to free mentally thousands of other slaves in identical conditions. The dark kingdom crumbled from within while the soldiers attacked from without.

The prince rescued the princess and things returned to the way it should have been. The dark kingdom was destroyed and the light of love spread further than ever.

That's the end of my story and now you know who you are, YES, you are the princess. And you should love yourself because you know now who you really are. You are not a despicable slave as the world made you believe to be, you are the future princess that together with the prince will rule the entire universe – an amazing destiny

Salvation is to find your identity. Each one of us has to find it for ourselves, and although we remain in this world, we are not part of it now; we know we belong to the real kingdom. We have the commission of freeing other people from mental slavery.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spirits having a human experience and the sooner we find that out the better for us and for all the other spirits waiting to be liberated. Jesus is the Liberator.

As I began to love myself, I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know is “LOVE OF ONESELF”. – Charlie Chaplin

As you love yourself you don’t have to hate others, you extend this same love to everybody. “Love others as you love yourself”, said Jesus. Let forgiveness permeate your soul. Forgive what others did to you or what they could have done but didn’t. Forgive what you did to yourself or what you could have done but didn’t. Now it’s a new day: the day of finding your identity and loving it.
