God is the Blue Print for Self Love by Kemi Huntley

Join us as we hear an on-the-go devotional today from therapist, business owner and pastor’s wife, Kemi Huntley.

In a world that often measures our worth by accomplishments, appearance, or approval from others, it’s easy to forget the truth: You are already deeply loved and valued by God.

Let’s take the next few moments with Kemi to unpack our identity. Here’s what she has to say…

1 John 4:19 “we love because he first loved us” 

Self-love isn’t about pride or being selfish it’s about seeing yourself as God sees you; beautifully and wonderfully made in his image. God created you with intention. Every detail about you was carefully designed by His hands and on purpose. When you criticize yourself or believe you are unworthy, you are rejecting the masterpiece He created. Instead, embrace His love and extend that same grace to yourself. Loving yourself means speaking kindly to yourself, which is self compassion, setting healthy boundaries, which preserves those relationships around you and taking care of your mind, body, and soul aka self care. It means letting go of shame and stepping into the identity God has given you.

You are his beloved, chosen, and you are enough.

​Today, take a moment today to thank God for who He made you to be. Speak life over yourself, just as He does. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, walk in that truth!
