Philautia (Self-Love) ©Dawn Minott

Beforeword: This week I continue with posts about love. I started with Eros (romantic love), then Agape (unconditional love attributable to God). This week I will focus on Philautia which is the love of oneself.

Self-love can be healthy, promoting self-care and self-respect (or unhealthy, manifesting as narcissism).

This week I’ll focus on healthy self-love characteristic of self-acceptance, self-compassion, and a balanced sense of self-worth. This healthy love of one’s self also comes from God for God IS love, and we love because He first loved us.

I’ve written a lot about self-love. I’ll bring back some oldies and add some newbies for your poetic enjoyment. I hope you’ll enjoy this leg of the love journey!
