How I love myself affects the way I love you

The way I feel about you (and the world) is affected by the way I feel about myself.

Sometimes, my lack of display of love for you, is from an emptiness in myself, not from a lack of love for you. Usually, I don't express myself well, when I don't feel good about myself.

It's sad, but it's about me, not you. Let this not be.

Lord, don't let the lack in me keep me from loving well those around me.

This reminds me of Matthew 22:39- Love your neighbor as yourself. Sometimes that's the problem: I don't love myself well. Help me to love me, the way you intended as well.
