SELF-CARE

God offers you the love in Jesus Christ wherever you are in your journey right now (John 3:16). Your appearance and nothing you do will make him love you less or more, for we are not saved by our works but God's grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

 

Sometimes, when we do self-care, we try to attain perfection. But God does not expect you to be perfect. We didnt come to be desirable or attractive but for the Glory of God, like Jesus:

Jesus helps us become truely worthy to come to the Kingdom of God (II Thessalonians 1:4-6, II Thessalonians 1:11-12).

 

Through His sacrifice, the Lord Jesus already shows the high value and worth we are to him. Your life is worth Jesus who is loved dearly to God (John 15:9). So, despite your imperfections, feelings of worthlessness and insecurity, God invites you to draw near, and in return He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Your soul is costly and redeemed by Jesus (Psalm 23:3, Psalm 49:8-9).

​

We often believe we must meet certain standards of beauty or dress a certain way to be accepted and experience intimate earthly relationships. Our relationship with the Lord is incomparable to any relationship on earth.  There is absolutely no expectation of perfection. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Apostle Paul affirms how the Lord told him, ”My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." We will never be able to achieve perfection; yet in our sinful state, God still says “come to Me.”
