SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE…

 

Mark 12:30-31

“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”


“And the second is like, namely this , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”


I attended a workshop recently that addressed the mental health of youth.

Some years ago I attended a workshop addressing the mental health of adults.  

Both workshops were very informative and impactful.


One point has that stayed with me, was the need for self-care.


Caregivers often neglect their own wellbeing in their endeavor to support others.


This neglect of oneself may be physical mental, emotional, and even spiritual.


Thinking about these things, the Holy Spirit brought Mark 12:31 to mind

“…Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself…”

The second greatest commandment.


Brothers and sisters:


We must love ourselves…

Take care of ourselves…

Encourage ourselves…

Show up for ourselves…


How are you doing in these areas?

I asked myself this question.


I know that if I do not love myself, my neighbor has nothing coming.


Love yourself.

God loves you 

 He loves you so much that He gave…


God bless✨ 

In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
