Alma 9:30
"And now, my beloved brethren, for ye are my brethren, and ye out to be beloved"
I like this verse because it says that we ought to love each other. The reference for beloved in the verse goes to 1 John 4:11--"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
If even God above in heaven, perfect and omnipotent, wise beyond our comprehension, loves us, then we had better love ourselves too. If a perfect being can love us, surely we can love ourselves because we are flawed and don't deserve to be high and mighty to each other-we are all brothers and sisters (flawed, but still loved by the flawless Father). More so, I would add to that-we need to love ourselves personally. If God loves me, what reason do I have not to love myself too?
