Jesus said, “You must love your neighbor in the same way you love yourself.” Sometimes we can forget the second half of this verse. Jesus grouped it into one of the most important commandments!

Loving ourselves entails digging into the deep places of our hearts and tending to all parts of us. This is done through self care.

In pondering this topic of self care, I became aware of the importance of RECEIVING. Receiving means we are accepting a gift. Self care offers us a chance to:

Receiving Rest when you are a go-getter.

Receiving Love in the calloused places of our hearts.

Receiving the Kindness of the Holy Spirit to soften our hardened souls.

Receiving Affirmation from your Creator when we are criticizing our bodies.

Receiving the Truth behind the lies we hold onto.

Receiving rest when we are tired.

Receiving care when we have used up all our resources to care for others.

Receiving Beauty where we have been lost in the to-do list.
