I ascribe to this kind of thinking whole heartedly. I won't clog up your journal with my thoughts on the subject ;-o but believing in some variety of this is what has continued to make Christianity accessible to me even though others have tried to render it oppressive. And I am *slowly* learning to love myself more consistently, assertively, and completely because of it. I wonder when that "time will come" for you, and for me too, and for all earnest seekers of Truth...
