This thought was inspired by God through the book Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. If you ever need a book to read, i highly suggest it!
God says to love your neighbor as yourself. So the problem with having a bad self image and the reason why self image problems cause selfishness is this: if you don't love yourself, then how can you know what it is to love others? If you don't value how God made you, how can you learn to value others and teach them how to value themselves enough to love others as well? Do you love yourself in a healthy way? Then if yes. Good. Now go love others. If no: God loves you. Just because. You don't have to earn it. He loves you. Remind yourself that daily. Pray that you would love yourself as well as loving others daily. In the way that God loves you.
Satan is a liar. Your are created in the image of God. God gives faith, love, and the holy spirit without limit.
