Verses for Loving Yourself

I'm a child of God. That's what I am, not just what I'm called.

A Bible affirmation for loving yourself, rooted in 1 John 3:1.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.

1 John 3:1 · BSB

Reflection

John can't contain himself: look at this love! Then he adds, and that is what we are. Being God's daughter isn't a nice title. It's who you actually are, and it's the starting point for how you treat yourself.

A prayer

Father, help me speak to myself the way You speak to Your child.
