Self-care. How necessary is it? 

In our fast-paced world, self-care has become more than a trend; it’s a necessity. Especially after the challenges of the global pandemic, many of us are reevaluating how we care for ourselves. Self-care is not just about taking breaks or pampering ourselves; it’s about recognizing our whole selves—mind, body, and spirit—and giving each part the attention it deserves. 

In this devotional, let’s explore what self-care means through a biblical lens and how we can intentionally nurture ourselves.

In this study we'll learn to follow His example, looking at each life interruption as an opportunity to share God’s grace with others.
