The core of loving yourself is humility. You must be humble to learn that you are worthy of being loved as Our Father loves you now. You must be humble to love yourself in this way which hides nothing and is always open to change and which, at the same time, recognizes that you have power beyond imagining. The essence of this is the acceptance of yourself with the total absence of self-aggrandizement.
Remember that the goal of your progress is to become At One with God and this implies that you are learning to love God as yourself and yourself as God. This concept when properly considered is awe inspiring and the achievement of this goal is even more awe inspiring. In this there is no hierarchy, only positions on the path with love and support flowing along the path from those a little and far ahead. There is no superiority and inferiority, simply the recognition that all can be among those furthest along the path. Anyone’s progress is dependent solely on one’s deepening knowledge and recognition and acceptance of one’s self and the acknowledgment of the love that Our Father has for you. Your passage is personal and celebrated by all.
