Self-love is a huge buzzword right now. It’s toxic taking our eyes off Christ and placing them on ourselves. 2 Timothy 3 says in the end times people will be lovers of self and money. God’s transformative love and salvation are the only answers though. Romans 12:2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Let’s encourage our kids to focus on our need of a savior. God's love is life-changing truth. The words of Jesus in Mark 12:30 are so important. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength." As we do, it redirects their attention from self-love to loving God and others, cultivating selflessness and humility.
If you just love yourself, you’ll be fine.
