It is tricky to know how to truly love yourself when so many of us are taught that we are born sinners and that we have to earn the love of God and our place in Heaven. There is no greater lie than thinking that anything you do, have done, believed or chosen can put you outside of All that Is. It is impossible, yet this gameboard of separation has us feeling like we are faulty and must work hard to be worthy of being loved and accepted. And has us spending a lifetime feeling shame for the times we screwed up.
Nope. Not so. Time for a rewrite. You - the perfect essence that provides life to the game token body you play with is perfect. And nothing you can do, say or believe can make you less than that. And when you stop identifying with the image of the fallen, imperfect human and can understand yourself as a spiritual being having a human experience, you can look at everything that makes you who you are with curiosity and acceptance instead of judgement and shame.
Imagine a God giving you free choice and then punishing you for the choices. For allowing you to experience a beautiful life in a Hindu family and then damning you to hell for not being baptized Christian. It is okay to question what you were taught. It is ok to believe that a God that is love allows us to come and experience and grow in this dimension where we can safely experience all of the octaves without compromising our perfect nature. You are made in his image - you too are love. From the first day. Without earning or doing anything. It is who you are.
