Do you set aside me-time?

It is easy to succumb to fatigue and discouragement. Many people schedule regular weekly times of self-pampering. It may be as inconsequential as a special bubble bath or as meaningful as journaling, to record the ways that God is working in the individual’s life.

“The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to Him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they went away in the boat by themselves to a remote place, but many saw them leaving and recognized them. People ran there by land from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then He began to teach them many things (Mark 6:30-34 HCS).”

I must never allow personal comforts to block the flow of compassion for others in need…
