Or is there a balance? Deny yourself? Love your neighbor as yourself? Don't be a lover of yourself? Love God? Fellowship? I am confused, please enlighten me. Is Mother Theresa the only one that has Christianity correct?

We can love who we are by the Grace of God in Christ Jesus
and not feel condemned or beat ourselves up when we make a mistake. We can walk on in Grace.

that's the place issues get fuzzy... how are you able to rather love your self without an ego in any respect? Even a individual working in the direction of religious enlightenment is working off of an ego, with the belief they might replace into greater advantageous than different human beings, a stronger point of religious understanding. Any priest that thinks that they are above their flock is showing signs and indications of ego. I do think of if we don't look after ourselves human beings can and could %. that up and cope with us consequently, yet that is seen a worst case state of affairs. i think of that's annoying to describe. And once you're a non secular individual, and don't already love your self being that in case you adore your god, how ought to you no longer love your self? i assume i think of human beings can go too a ways in attempting to interpret those issues. common-sense must be addressed to boot as a deep heart felt reaction. If a individual will become so crammed with themselves they do no longer love every physique yet themselves, then they went too a ways. in any different case, do no longer issue lots approximately it. i detect that moderation in each and every thing is the main suitable coverage and the main secure. yet even love may be overdone... we ought to journey all of lifes united statesand downs, solid with the undesirable or we leave out the factor of existence.

We should love ourselves as believers......
But God is the One who we should love the most.
Loving ourselves too much is idolatry.
If Mother Theresa placed her complete faith & trust in Christ....then and only then will she be in heaven right now.

If God loved you so much he sacrificed his Son why would we not love our self. When a person truly loves God loving yourself just happens, so does loving others. So yes, I do because God does.

This isn't a theoretical thing, learnt from books and writing theses - in short, *live* your life* out to the fullest to find out.
