God loves me, this I know.

He loves me unconditionally.

Therefore: His love for me is based on who HE is.

Therefore: I have not earned His love, nor can I earn His love.

Therefore: I cannot be separated from His love.

When I obey Him, He will bless me.

When I disobey Him, there will be consequences for my behavior.

He may not like my behavior, but He always loves me.

Therefore: Since I have experienced Gods love, I know I am loveable.

Therefore, since I know that God loves me,

I am able to believe that there are people who could love me too.

Therefore, I am able to trust people who genuinely love me.

Therefore I am able to accept the love that those people give to me.

Therefore, since my most basic need for love & a sense of self-worth have been

met by God, I dont need to be fixed by other people.

Therefore, although I have needs that I look to other people to meet,

I believe those needs are balanced & God-given (companionship, affection, fun).

I try to be honest in assessing those needs & in asking for what I need.

Therefore, I expect others to be honest with me.

I can handle criticism or confrontation if it is done with love.

Therefore, since I know that I am Gods special & unique creation,

I know that the love I have to give is valuable.

Therefore, I dont feel that I have to perform for other people.

They will either love me for who I am or they wont.

Its important to me to be loved for who I am.

Therefore, I am able to get my mind off what others are thinking ABOUT ME

& focus on other people & THEIR NEEDS

Therefore: I am able to sustain a healthy, loving & lasting relationship.
