One day it clicked for me. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" works two ways: if you can love your neighbor you must also love and forgive yourself to the same degree. If you fail to treat yourself with the same love that you extend to others, you violate God's wishes just as much as if you devalued your neighbor. You are His, as much as anyone else. God bless.
