Are you harder on yourself than you are on other people? Does your inner critic sometimes win the battle? Do you find yourself shutting down in certain situations? Does your body sometimes seem to have a mind of its own? Hear what Pastor Margaret has to say about our negative behavior patterns and a tool she uses that can help us all learn how to be kinder to ourselves.
How can you effectively love others if you don’t love yourself first? Some of us are so accustomed to dealing harshly with ourselves, that it spills over into how we treat others. In addition to loving him, God calls us to love our neighbors AS we love ourselves. You too are a child of God, worthy of love, compassion, and grace. Sometimes something as simple as making it a practice to regularly compliment yourself can enable you to see yourself the way God sees you.
