The Cries of Our Hearts 3/8

October 18, 2021  /  Katie Hays

The Cries of our hearts (1).png

We cry out for confirmation of self. Our quest for self-actualization (becoming the whole beautiful self God intends for you to be) is sometimes diminished to a competition – myself over others, myself in competition with others. Kristin Neff has recently written about self-esteem (self over others) vs. self-compassion (self with others). Jesus insists on a shift away from contemplation of one’s own esteem and toward imagining oneself in service of others; perhaps through Neff’s lens this could be less damaging to spiritual refugees and more empowering of empathy. (Service to others, after all, requires the theory of mind to understand who they are by first understanding self.)
