we do not love ourselves
The golden rule is not enough
to love our neighbors as ourselves;
This command is compromised, limited,
by the way we love ourselves
We do not love ourselves;
We hold onto judgement,
our pain, our sins
of the past, the present.
We do not see ourselves
as lovable, as worthy of love;
We do not see us through God’s eyes
through the sacrifice of Christ.
We must love as Christ loved us,
as Christ loves us still,
because we don’t love ourselves;
We must love as Christ loved us,
as Christ loves us yet.
