Stewarding Love for Ourselves

Dec 17, 2025    Cory Young

The world defines loving yourself as a selfish , self-centered pursuit rooted in pain, anger, and independence from others. It teaches the you alone are your source and that caring for yourself means disregarding everyone else . But God's definition of loving yourself is different- while it includes healthy care for yourself, it is not driven by hurt or isolation. True love for self is rooted in God and is inseparable from loving others , reflecting His purpose rather than self-centered desire.
