Sunday Restoration - Soul Care

And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make your strong, firm and steadfast. – 1 Peter 5:10

What awakens your soul?  What restores its strength?  

The first time I heard about Soul Care, I thought it sounded like a wacky, new age, self-help seminar.  But as I searched deeper, I discovered that our souls need care just like our bodies do.  

Although there aren’t “soul gyms” where we can strengthen, shape, and sculpt them, there are daily and weekly “workouts” you can do.

Do you want a stronger soul, one with the endurance and stamina to endure life’s ups and downs?  Do you long for a soul that can easily find peace and rest?  When was the last time you reflected on the health of your soul? 

OK, I know this is starting to sound a little out there, but just go with me… Here’s your first question: What “feeds” or nurtures your soul, and what activities or circumstances deplete it? 

Think for a moment… where were you last time you felt like your soul was being restored? What were you doing? Can you think of a few more? These are the good, healthy places and things that will help you live your best life. 

Lastly, and this is the hardest part, you have to plan for soul restoration.  You actually have to create space in your calendar to do the restoring work.  (It shouldn’t really be work, though, right?)  

At first you might feel guilty carving out time for naps, hikes, yoga, sewing, dancing, walks in the park, or alone time with God, but when you begin to live your life with a soul fully restored, closeness to God comes, gratitude grows, and peace is possible on a daily basis.  

What’s stopping you?  Start today.  Call it Sunday Restoration Day and begin a new practice of taking good care of your soul.
