Amor próprio
O amor próprio saudável reconhece o valor que Deus nos deu. Fomos criados à imagem de Deus, maravilhosamente formados. Aceitar-se é honrar o Criador.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name:
The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise,
Because of thine enemies;
That thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers;
The moon and stars, which thou hast established.
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob;
Who turned the rock into pools of water,
And the flint into fountains of water.
But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as a man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.
