Hi Gloria,
How are you these days?
I am working on Heavenletters # 5569 and encounter one question. Here I past the paragraph below:
"It is not precisely self-esteem that We are speaking of now. You don't have to esteem yourself. You don't have to adulate yourself. You belong here on Earth. You are supposed to be here. You are supposed to take up the space you do. In the sense I am speaking of, you don't have to earn it. You were born to it, and it is yours. You are not meant to be a beggar of love and respect. You are here on Earth to learn to love and respect yourself."
Please see those two sentences in bold and italic:
You don't have to esteem yourself.
You are here on Earth to learn to love and respect yourself.
Esteem yourself and respect yourself are same? To my understanding, literally they are same. But maybe there are something I don't know. I believe God is telling us not to esteem our ego self, but to respect our true Self? My understanding is correct? Please confirm.
Love
Cat
