At Peace With Myself
The settled soul that rests in God
This final message brings the journey of SELF-LOVE to its quiet completion. Not with striving, explanation, or instruction, but with rest. At peace with myself is not self-congratulation, self-acceptance through effort, or a confidence generated by circumstance. It is the settled state of a soul that has ceased arguing with how God sees it.
There is a deep difference between learning truths about God and coming into agreement with His love. Many know the language of grace, forgiveness, and mercy, yet still live inwardly contested, monitoring themselves, correcting themselves, or standing slightly at a distance from rest. This message speaks to that last inner resistance. Not rebellion, but reluctance. Not pride, but fear of letting go.
Scripture shows us that God’s desire has always been rest for the soul, not just obedience of the will. “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3, NKJV). Peace here is not emotional calm produced by stability around us, but the fruit of trust settled inwardly. When the mind no longer turns against the self in hidden accusation, peace becomes the atmosphere of being.
To be at peace with yourself is not to approve of sin or ignore growth. It is to agree with God about who you are while He continues His gentle work. David prayed, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23–24, NKJV). There is no fear in this prayer because David was already secure in God’s love. Self-love allows God to search without terror, correct without collapse, and lead without resistance.
Jesus Himself invites us into this rest. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest… and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28–29, NKJV). Notice that the rest He gives is not merely from external burdens, but for the soul itself. The inner striving ends when we receive His yoke, His way of being, gentle and lowly in heart.
Across the divine sequence God has led in this ministry, this message could not come earlier. Mental Health Freedom removed oppression. Wholeness integrated the inner life. Relationship established abiding. Gratitude restored fullness without survival. Friendship revealed shared life with God. Now SELF-LOVE reaches its completion here, where the soul no longer disputes being loved.
The Apostle Paul writes, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, NKJV). Condemnation does not only come from external accusation. Often it is internalised, subtle, and spiritualised. To be at peace with yourself is to allow this truth to land fully, so that condemnation no longer has a voice inside.
This peace changes how we live. When the soul is settled, there is no need for inner surveillance, no constant checking of motives, tone, or worth. Love flows outward without pressure. Authority rests without hardness. Relationships become safer because the self is no longer a battleground. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33, NKJV), and that peace begins within.
This is not the end of growth, but the end of inner conflict. Not the absence of repentance, but the presence of security. The soul that rests in God can finally rest with itself, because it has learned that God is not disappointed, distant, or withholding.
This message closes SELF-LOVE not with a command, but with permission. You are allowed to be at peace now. God is not asking you to disappear, diminish, or strive. He is inviting you to rest in agreement with His love.
