Why is it important to develop a love for yourself? well it is extremely important because loving yourself allows you to be more convicted in every decision you make, whereas if you aren't sure of yourself you will constantly be questioning everything you do & every thought that arises. It may not be easy to instill confidence in every aspect of your life all at once, but deep rooting confidence in certain aspects of your life can help you to achieve such a difficult feat in a reasonable amount of time!
It is hard for you to fully love our God if you aren't able to have some particle of love for yourself! when we find our confidence in God and not in a shallow pool of our own abilities and accomplishments we are able to truly allow that love for ourselves to grow from a still small seed into a monumental tree that is the epitome of the word grandeur. It may not be easy to fully invest yourself in God's love but with his help you can grow into feeling those things for yourself and God!
If we can find the truth of the gospel, we can do anything we set out to do, in righteousness of course! The truth of the gospel, this may sound cheesy, will truly set you free. The gospel of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will allow you to find meaning for your life & bring happiness in the highest degree, of course this is my opinion so you may agree or disagree!
My biggest struggle, and I don't mean to take away from the fact that this is absolutely for YOU, but i struggled the most with staying in the church. I became baptized then fell away, came back, then fell away, and this had become a cycle for a good amount of time. My church beliefs were very wish washy to put it lightly, but I arrived at a place that I like to call rock bottom and God sent me a huge sign in the form of two young men specifically sent for me, I know that they were sent to me because one baptized me almost two years previously, and the other was very clearly someone that was someone that could effect my life in a great way, and I can't rightly explain it, but we discussed things for a good couple of weeks, and came to the conclusion that i did not have a testimony anywhere near strong enough, but they were truly inspired men of the Lord and knew exactly what I needed to hear and do that would strengthen me to where I needed to be, and gratefully so, they did exactly that & they will always be two of the people I thank the most, they will always be MY missionaries, even if they are off their missions & married, etc, wherever life may take them I will never stop thanking God for the things the brought to my life, They have truly changed my life. I realize I may not fully love myself, nor will that come easily, but the confidence I have developed in my God has instilled a growing confidence in myself that I will continually nourish throughout the course of life.
My love for this gospel started only as a seed and grew to more than I could ever possibly imagine, a full fledged Willow tree i guess you could say (see i can make these a little humorous here and there :p) but what I'm trying to make perfectly clear to you is that God created you for a specific reason, and he loves you.God wants nothing more than to see you succeed, because you are a beautiful & amazing son or daughter of a loving Heavenly Father. I know that this is true because I, as of recent events, have seen his hand in my life in extreme ways, If you had asked me maybe a month and a half to two months ago how I felt I would expect it would have been nothing along the lines of what I am trying to convey to you right now. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, God will give you these things if you allow him to.
