We are living in this odd tension of ever-changing rhythms, rediscovered purposes and a whole lot of emotions. The good news is, God‘s view of us remains the same. We are His beloved children.
We need to remind ourselves of this truth and begin to treat God’s creation (you) with the same love He has for you! A few things to remember.
Be kind to yourself. Find moments to do things you enjoy and things that fill your heart. Practice positive thinking. The content of our hearts begins with what we think or believe in our minds.
Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,.... think about these things.”
Make God a priority and trust His word. Most of the struggle, stress and questions we endure in this life have an answer.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 says that “the Word of God equips us”. Take a break from the news today and fill your mind with Scripture.
Stay in Community. God did not create you to do life alone. Go back to church or join one.
Rest, relaxation and sleep. Find time to pray. As out of control as we may feel, He is aware of the condition of our hearts. God is waiting for us to come to Him.
Listen to worship music. Stay Active and Eat Healthy. This is a key way to care for yourself during self-quarantine. Be active and be aware of what you are eating.
Your love, rest and peace feed so many other areas of your life. Allow God to be your source. Take care of yourself. Let’s all commit to do that…and do it well!
