True humility comes from love of self, which is the realization of ourselves as we really are.
Ever wondered about the difference between self-love and love of self, especially in the context of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Ashes to Rubies', the hosts dive into this nuanced topic during their morning devotional. They kick things off with a morning meditation, setting a reflective tone for the discussion that follows. The hosts share their personal experiences and insights, aiming to bring hope and understanding to those feeling lost in their struggles with addiction.
They explore how self-love can sometimes be mistaken for arrogance, where everything revolves around one's own ego. In contrast, love of self is about recognizing and accepting ourselves as we truly are, leading to genuine humility. A poignant quote by Matthew Arnold, 'resolve to be thyself and know that he who finds himself loses his misery', is highlighted to emphasize that true contentment comes from this self-acceptance.
The conversation touches on the importance of positive self-care, such as maintaining fitness, as a way to honor the self that God has given. The hosts also stress that loving oneself is crucial before one can genuinely love others, and this often requires a spiritual relationship. They wrap up the episode by cautioning against the false humility that can mask self-love, urging listeners to seek true humility and honesty in their recovery journey.
This episode is perfect for anyone navigating the complexities of self-perception and seeking a deeper understanding of their path to recovery.
