Reflection

Love Is As Love Does

We should never lose sight of what Jesus said: that we should love others as we do ourselves, choosing self-deprecation over self-glory. Indeed, many of us have a warped and unhealthy understanding of  self-love.  The right kind of self-love is not being selfish, but honouring the temple that houses God.  So, whilst we are asked to remain humble and obedient, there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking after ourselves, taking care of ourselves, and being gently on ourselves when times are tough.  After all, if we cannot do this, then how are we going to learn to bestow love upon others.
