Loving Self

As we look at what it means to love God and neighbor as yourself, we turn to what it means to love the self, over and above the obvious notions of caring for one's physical health. We see how Wesley encouraged us to know ourselves through his probing questions for class meetings, suggesting that we cannot truly and appropriately love ourselves without knowing who we really are. The connection between holiness and happiness becomes apparent as we look to Wesley's guidance on this complex subject.
