Loving ourselves in our brokenness

Our personal healing is characterised by a diminishing of the dominance of the the false self (the ego), and an increased consciousness of the true self. We become more aware of our blind spots and dare to allow others to know us more. 

As growth and healing occurs over time, the love emanating from the true self flows into our whole being. We love and regard ourselves and all that we have been in our efforts to live a good Christian life, as well as our past patterns of relating that were governed by a mistrust as to whether others (and God) would accept us in our brokenness. We also love and accept ourselves as our blind spots are revealed to us. We love and regard the increased consciousness of the emerging self in its woundedness and concomitant emotions, as well as its beauty.
