“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)
Today, I challenge you to honor yourself. This may be the most difficult challenge of all, but I encourage you to try it. Take time for you.
What blesses you? What brings peace and refreshment to your mind, body and soul?
Do you enjoy getting out in nature and enjoying the beauty of creation? If so, take a long walk or a hike. Do you get rejuvenated by a hot bubble bath? Take a bath! Do you find pleasure in reading a book or watching a movie? Read! Watch! Perhaps taking a nap is what you dream of every day. Today, make time and take a nap!
Care for yourself, so that you will be ready to care for others.
Heavenly Father, I know that I belong to You. Sometimes I do not care for this temple that You have given me. Today, I choose to find a way to care for myself. I do not need to feel guilty about resting, relaxing or engaging in an activity that I enjoy. Thank You for giving me freedom to care for myself.
