What comes to mind when you think of “self-care” or “soul care”? Some of you may cringe, thinking it is for others, not you. Taking time to care for your needs may feel selfish or simply out of reach.
In this blog post, we dig deeper into our own beliefs and experiences, learning from Christ’s example.
Key takeaways:
–While Christ was on earth, He had very real physical needs. He felt human emotions. He was already God, yet prioritized quiet times with the Father to stay connected and anointed.
–Being selfless, as God calls us to be, does not mean neglecting your own needs. (Phil. 2:4) When we have a heart posture of humility, obedience, and submission to God’s will; He will call us to lay aside our needs in specific moments for the sake of His kingdom. As we follow in obedience, He will give us the strength we need as He supernaturally works in and through us.
–It is vital we care for our own physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs to prevent burnout and ineffectiveness.
–Surrendering to how God made your body means listening to the cues it communicates with you, alerting you to what may need more attention.
–Seek support as needed.
–Start with grace.
–Do everything for God’s glory, keeping eternity on your mind.
