I can be prone to self-loathing. Sometimes this takes the form of thinking about things I’ve done or recounting words I’ve said and detesting myself for them. Sometimes it takes the form of thinking about who I am and hating who God has made me to be, or thinking about the way God has gifted me and despising those gifts in favor of others.See AlsoWhat’s Going On In Your Pastor’s Mind?When God Doesn’t Give His Beloved SleepGod Hates Evil Thoughts
