30 Days of Self Care: Day Seven

 30 Days of Self Care:  Day Seven

Spiritual Self Care

When we work on our spiritual self care we are saying that we can focus on our spiritual, religious or internal thinking. This encompasses your morals and values. It gives you pause in your day as you can reflect on what is more important than your daily hustle and bustle. When we can identify something greater than ourselves, we can trust that God is in our corner, every step of the way. These kinds of self care activities focus on helping you foster a calm mind and a sense of perspective beyond your routine or schedule. Tapping into your spiritual side also helps relieve the compulsion to believe that it's all up to you to solve everything. Letting go and trusting God is easier said than done, because we each have our own internal control buttons that get us sidetracked into thinking we need to control everything and every outcome. Recognizing that God is in control and opening ourselves up to the spiritual inner voice allows us to receive peace and grace when we may not have been able to achieve this on our own. Release your grip and open your hand to the spiritual help that is available for all of us. Trust that your help is on its way. "Let Go and Let God." Then help someone else.



Remember:  We must serve ourselves first in order to go out and better serve the world.  Spend time with God today.  Help others with your time, talents or treasures, spreading kindness along the way.


DAY SEVEN:  SPIRITUAL SELF CARE

Praise God, He hears our prayers. We have a God who is willing to listen to His children. Despite how we might think He is so preoccupied with saving this world from implosion, He still manages to be personable with us. Yes, there are many reasons for Him to not concern himself with our problems, yet He does. He wants us to come to Him with all of it. There is no problem to great or too small. He never tires of us. He never wishes we would go away. He never gets frustrated with our lacking, for He knows that in our humanness, we fall short of His glory. And when we turn to Him, He takes great delight in us. Remember today, don't try to solve things on your own. Take it to the Lord and let him work closely with you. He listens and cares.



BIBLICAL VERSES FOR SPIRITUAL SELF CARE:
  • "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."--1 John 5:14
  • "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always."--1 Chronicles 16:11
  • " If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."--2 Chronicles 7:14
  • "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."--Jeremiah 29:12
  • "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."--Mark 11:24

ACTION STEPS

Here are a few ways we can cover our spiritual self care today: 
  • Attend church or a spiritual community service.
  • Do several one minute breathing meditations throughout the day.
  • Donate money to a charity of your choice.
  • Spend some time volunteering for a non-profit in your community.
  • Pray. Talk to God and ask for help, seek guidance, ask for forgiveness, and receive answers.
  • Read some spiritual literature, whether in a book, online or social media.
  • Vent your feelings in a private journal. You can write to God--work it through with Him.
  • Sit outside in nature and be still and quiet for a while. Open your mind to reflection.
  • Be of service to others by volunteering to a local shelter, hospital or nursing home.
  • Memorize verses from the bible (or other spiritual or religious passages.)

KIMALA'S  VIDEO ON MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE :



Today, do something for your spiritual connectedness.  Go to church or read your bible or any of the other suggestions from today's message.  Tap into your spiritual needs so that you can feel God's presence in your life.  He is with you with every step.

Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

Image
  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
