Today’s devotional for women is about Loving Yourself. Many women struggle with self-acceptance, but God’s love is the foundation of our worth. 1 John 4:19 reminds us that we love because He first loved us.

TOPIC: Loving Yourself

VERSE: 1 John 4:19

Many women struggle with loving themselves. The world tells us we are not enough—we are too much of this, not enough of that. We compare ourselves to others, picking apart our flaws and doubting our worth. But God never intended for us to live this way. His love is the foundation of our identity, and because He loves us, we can love ourselves.

God created you in His image. Every detail about you was carefully designed by His hands. Your personality, your gifts, your body—He calls them good. When you see yourself through God’s eyes, you begin to understand that you are precious, valuable, and deeply loved. You don’t have to strive for perfection to be worthy. You already are, because He says so.

Loving yourself does not mean being prideful or selfish. It means accepting who God made you to be. It means speaking to yourself with kindness, not criticism. It means forgiving yourself for past mistakes and allowing yourself to grow. It means refusing to let shame or insecurity control your life. God wants you to live in freedom, not in self-doubt.

Today, let God’s love fill your heart so completely that it overflows into the way you see yourself. Choose to speak life over yourself. Choose to see beauty where you once saw flaws. Choose to believe that you are loved—not just by God, but by yourself, too.
