It's a universal desire to feel a sense of belonging and to be surrounded by others.
However, without first accepting and loving ourselves, we can inadvertently attract negative influences into our lives. It's crucial to develop discernment to identify those who may not have our best interests at heart, whether they be hypocrites, manipulators, or detractors.
When we truly embrace and love ourselves, we become the embodiment of the space we inhabit. We are the energy, the atmosphere, the company, and the vibe. Understanding and appreciating our own worth allows us to create environments that reflect and nurture our true selves.
Jesus might affirm the importance of self-love and self-awareness, as reflected in the message. He often emphasized the value of loving oneself and others, as seen in the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39).
Overall, he would likely encourage us to cultivate a healthy balance of self-love, humility, discernment, and love for others.
We all should love others, just don't forget to love yourself.
