Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

You bring light to the dark corners of your life when you stop comparing yourself to others. The power of differences makes the world a better place. Let's work together to impact the world we touch, not in competition or comparison. As humans, we often find ourselves in a constant state of comparison - comparing ourselves to those around us, wishing we were different, and striving to fit in. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co And in that striving, we become trapped in the melody of comparison and constant competition, always trying to be better, do better, and look better. However, what we fail to see is that our uniqueness and individuality are powerful tools for making the world a better place. So why fight what is a blessing? We are all created with a purpose, and our differences enable us to contribute uniquely to the world. Our differences allow us to bring a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, providing diversity that fosters growth and innovation in society. So why fight what is a blessing? Use the power of differences to enhance the world you touch. The K.I.S.S. ~ Use the power of difference to enhance the world you touch! Don't blame others for what you can control. Your behavior is determined by your actions, all of which you control. You might enjoy the escape of using someone else's successes or failures to become your excuses for what you do or don't do. So how can you utilize your differences to impact the world you touch, all the while building up others? Accept yourself for who you are. When you open yourself up to the possibility of using your unique talents, gifts, and ideas to the table, it levels the playing field; both you and others are valuable. And in doing so, you foster an environment where others can thrive as well. Accepting yourself and your differences leads to a level of self-respect and self-love that is necessary for making the world a better place. Embrace who you are. Take time to identify your strengths, talents, and unique personality traits. Write them down and make a conscious effort to focus on these positive attributes. What can you do to utilize them more? How can they be more of an asset and not a distraction? You are different for a reason! so embrace who you are. Celebrate others' differences. Surround yourself with individuals who celebrate their differences and encourage others to do the same. These individuals are like your guards and truthtellers in your life that will inspire you and challenge you to grow in ways that you may not have thought possible. Remember that comparison holds no power when you believe in yourself and who you are. Trust in your journey and have faith that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. It's no accident that you're here listening to me on this podcast. So take it to heart. Your uniqueness is a bonus in making the world a better place, so embrace it, own it, and let your light shine! PRAYER: May the Lord open your heart to the possibilities when you believe in yourself, trust in Him, and have faith that the best is yet to come. Lead by example even when you fall. Then, quickly rise up and let your resilience shine as you walk by faith. "Be present. Be incredible.

The true blessings that come from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are healing, peace, joy, and purpose in this life, as well as the assurance of eternal life. Every rose has its thorn, but through Christ, we can experience the pleasure and passion of God, even in the midst of pain. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! ~ Luke 24:5-6 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co He is risen. He is risen indeed. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. It is the very reason believers have hope and an assurance of eternal life. However, the benefits of Christ's death and resurrection extend here on earth. In John 10:10, Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." This fullness of life is experienced here on earth, and it is one of the true blessings that come from the death and resurrection of Christ. However, you also know that life isn't fair; the roller coaster of life. But even amongst the pain, there is pleasure and a deep passion toward you from God. As you know, pain is a reality of life, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Christ understands the pain we experience because he himself suffered through it. Isaiah 53:3 ~ He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Yet, through His death on the cross, He not only bore the weight of your sins, but He also took your pain upon Himself. 1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." This healing includes physical and emotional healing, as well as spiritual healing. The K.I.S.S. ~ Every rose has its thorn! But then, on the opposite side of pain lies pleasure. And that pleasure comes from an indescribable relationship with Christ. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4:7 But I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. (John 16:22) This pleasure is based not on earthly circumstances, but on the hope and assurance we have in Jesus Christ. As Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Now as you know, there are trials and tribulations here on earth, but there is also beauty that's indescribable. And that beauty is expressed in the passion God has for you, for His people made evident through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16 This passion is not just focused on our eternal destination, but also on our daily lives. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11 He has a plan and purpose for you (Jeremiah 29:11) and desires for you to experience a meaningful and fulfilling life. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ serves as a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult life can get, there is hope available in Him. As Christians, it's important for us to remember that the path to redemption isn't easy; just like a rose with its thorns, it takes courage and strength from within to face our trials with faith. But because Jesus died for our sins, we know that no matter what troubles come our way – whether spiritual or physical – there will always be a way out if we trust in Him alone. So look at the beautiful rose He gave you in your mind. It serves as a visual representation of how passionate God is about each one of His children; so passionate that He was willing to put Himself through unimaginable pain for your sake, even though He knew what awaited Him at Calvary's cross. Every rose has its thorn (the pain when your finger is pricked), but it also presents a pleasure of comfort and grace that goes beyond your understanding. The passion God has for you is an unimaginable love by your Heavenly Father. He is risen. He is risen indeed. PRAYER: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." ~ Numbers 6:24-26 "Be present.

As we celebrate the resurrection this Passion weekend, we can apply the lessons of sacrifice and sacred love to our marriages, making them stronger and more meaningful. The glory of the resurrection amplifies the beauty of marriage. At its core, marriage is a reflection of the relationship between God and His people, and at its highest form, a marriage can be an expression of the love between Christ and His bride - the Church. Therefore, understanding how the resurrection impacts our marriages gives us an unparalleled appreciation for this sacred union. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Let's start with the power of sacrificial love. In John 15:13, Jesus says, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate example of sacrificial love. Sacrificial love means putting others before yourself. When we practice sacrificial love in our marriages, we put our spouse's needs above our own. We think about what our spouse needs, even when it may not be what we want. We give and serve our spouse sacrificially, without expecting anything in return. Next, let's talk about forgiveness. In Ephesians 4:32, it says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Forgiveness is essential in any relationship, but especially in a marriage. When we forgive our spouse, we let go of the past hurts and move forward. Forgiveness opens the door for love and trust to grow in any marriage. If we want our marriage to be strong and meaningful, we need to learn to forgive our spouse, just as Christ forgave us. Hope is another essential component of a strong marriage. In Hebrews 6:19, it says, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hope is like an anchor that keeps us grounded when the winds of life threaten to toss us about. When the road ahead looks difficult, uncertain, or even scary, it's hope that keeps us moving forward. When we have hope, we can face any challenge that comes our way. In a marriage, we need hope to believe that our relationship can weather any storm. The K.I.S.S. ~ The beauty of marriage! Finally, let's talk about faith. In Hebrews 11:1, it says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Faith is trusting in something that we cannot see or touch. It's believing that God has a plan for our lives and our marriages, even when we can't see it. Faith is what binds our relationships together. Trusting God and believing that He is on our side gives us hope and comfort when life gets tough. When we have faith in our marriage, we believe that our spouse will stay committed to the relationship, even during the most challenging times. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus hold vital lessons for couples looking to build a strong and healthy marriage. So, what does this all mean for our marriages? It means putting sacrificial love into practice by being a servant to our spouse, understand from a biblical perspective. It means forgiving our spouses when they make mistakes. It means having hope for our future together, even when things look difficult. And it means having faith in God and His plan for our marriage. You see, marriage is sacred. We have an opportunity to create something that is eternal and everlasting. The power of sacred relationships is that they can have an impact that lasts for generations to come. When we prioritize these values in our marriage, we build a relationship that's based on love, respect, and trust that stands the test of time. And when we put these biblical principles into practice in our marriages, we create a legacy of love and commitment that will be remembered for years to come. Commit to building stronger and more meaningful marriages that bring glory to God. PRAYER: May the power of the resurrection strengthen and bless your marriage today and always. "Be present.

Nowadays, kids have a hard time understanding what real love is, which makes it more challenging for us as parents—loved beyond likes and followers. In the age of social media, love is often measured in terms of likes, comments, followers, and subscribers. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Children, especially teenagers, place a significant amount of importance on their online presence and the content that they curate. They equate social media reactions with appreciation, validation, and even love. In many ways, this shift in how we measure love has made it more challenging for parents to teach their children the true meaning of love. Loved beyond likes and followers. As we know, love is a complex emotion that requires patience, kindness, and sacrifice. True love is the kind that is unconditional; the type that we show to our family and friends regardless of circumstances. It's a deep and abiding feeling that transcends physical attraction, financial wealth, or social status. But, as parents, how can we teach this kind of love to our children? This is Passion Week when we celebrate Easter. The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." This verse shows that God's love for humanity is so profound that He was willing to sacrifice His son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins. Now, don't you think that love goes beyond likes and followers? Of course! And that's why Easter is a perfect opportunity for us to share not only God's love with them, but how real love looks. You see, Jesus willingly gave His life for us, suffering and dying on the cross, to pay the price for our sins. This shows us how far God's love extends and the lengths He was willing to go to show us His love. Now let us not forget the resurrection of Jesus to explain how love triumphs over death. Jesus didn't remain in the grave, because on the third day, He rose from the dead, proving that He had conquered death and sin. God's love is stronger than anything else in this world. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love beyond likes and followers! How you love your child goes beyond likes and followers. Create an open and safe environment where kids can share their feelings, opinions, and doubts. Be sure to take time to listen actively and actively respond with empathy, understanding, and guidance. This teaches children how to communicate with others honestly and with love. Model appropriate behaviors demonstrating love and respect. Children look up to their parents and follow their examples, so it's important to set high standards and be consistent in our actions. Little eyes are watching. Teach children to value genuine relationships over superficial ones. Encourage them to invest their time and resources in nurturing friendships that are based on mutual respect and common interests, rather than focusing on building their online image or receiving social media validation. This will teach children the value of authentic connections and how to recognize true love. However, when life gets a little crazy, and you are drifting into another season, be sure to teach about forgiveness. Love is only as great as it is to forgive. In Romans 5:8, it says that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This means that God loved us before we even loved Him back, and He forgives us even though we don't deserve it. Love is sacrificial, forgiving, and triumphant. When you nurture your relationship with your children to see how God showed us how to love, that is the best gift you can give. No more focusing on likes and followers. See your child's heart as God sees you! Many blessings this Easter season. PRAYER: May the Lord bless your love for your children. "Be present. Be incredible.

Your gut has a direct impact on your health overall. If you want to take healthy living to the next level, then dive into how your gut affects your fitness. It will change your world! Maintaining good gut health has become a hot topic in recent years, with increasing research suggesting that a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, including its potential impact on exercise performance. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Your gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a complex system of organs responsible for digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste. But did you know that the health of your gut can also affect your exercise routine? Emerging scientific research suggests that there is a strong connection between gut health and exercise performance. Several studies have shown that the composition and diversity of gut microbes, also known as the gut microbiota, can impact various aspects of exercise performance, such as endurance, strength, and recovery. There have even been studies in mice in how the good bacteria is better, and the mice are more in the mood to exercise. Who would have thought that the health of your gut plays a role in your motivation to not only eat well, but to exercise too? For example, a study published in the journal "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" found that athletes with a more diverse gut microbiota had better endurance performance compared to those with a less diverse gut microbiota. Another study published in the journal "Frontiers in Physiology" showed that supplementing with certain probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria for the gut, improved running performance and reduced markers of inflammation in athletes. Furthermore, research also suggests that gut health can affect other factors that are important for exercise performance, such as nutrient absorption, immune function, and inflammation. A healthy gut can help facilitate the absorption of nutrients, such as carbohydrates and proteins, which are essential for providing energy and aiding in muscle recovery after exercise. Additionally, balanced gut microbiota can help modulate immune function and reduce inflammation, which can impact exercise-induced muscle damage and recovery. So what are you waiting for? Get to know your gut! The K.I.S.S. ~ Get to know your gut! You can create a balanced gut to optimize your health and your workouts! So let's get started. Eat a Healthy and Balanced Diet: A diet rich in fiber, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help promote a diverse and balanced gut microbiota. Avoid excessive intake of processed foods, sugary foods, and unhealthy fats, as they can disrupt the gut microbiota and promote inflammation. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut. Drink enough water throughout the day, especially before and after exercise, to support digestion and absorption of nutrients. Consider Probiotics and Prebiotics: Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help restore and maintain healthy gut microbiota. They can be found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, or by taking supplements. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are non-digestible fibers that serve as food for probiotics, helping them thrive in the gut. Good sources of prebiotics include garlic, onion, asparagus, and bananas. Manage Stress: Chronic stress can disrupt the gut microbiota and affect gut health. Find ways to manage stress, such as practicing relaxation techniques, getting enough sleep, and engaging in regular physical activity, like yoga or meditation. Gradually Increase Exercise Intensity: Intense exercise can impact the gut by increasing gut permeability, leading to potential gut discomfort or issues. Gradually increasing exercise intensity and duration can help the gut adapt to the changes and reduce the risk of gut-related issues during exercise. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your gut feels before, during, and after exercise. If you notice any discomfort, such as bloating, cramping, or diarrhea, adjust your exercise routine accordingly. It's important to listen to your body and prioritize gut health to ensure that exercise remains enjoyable and beneficial. Take Care of Your Gut Post-Exercise: After a workout, it's essential to prioritize post-workout nutrition and recovery. Consuming a balanced meal or snack with adequate carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats can help replenish lost nutrients and support muscle recovery. Including gut-friendly foods such as probiotics and prebiotics in your post-workout meal can further support gut health. Consult with a Healthcare Professional: If you have persistent gut issues or concerns related to exercise and gut health, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian, a naturopath, or a gastroenterologist. They can provide personalized recommendations and guidance tailored to your specific needs and health status. You can create a balanced gut that supports your fitness regimen. Maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for optimizing exercise performance and overall well-being. As you can tell, scientific research suggests that gut health and exercise are closely interconnected, with the gut microbiota playing a significant role in various aspects of exercise performance. When you're exercising, be sure to prioritize gut health, so you can achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall health and well-being. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's time to raise the bar. No need to compare. No need to be filled with despair. Excellence at its best comes from when you play to your level. Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!! That was basically the message from the Head Coach of UConn, who earned the title of the NCAA Basketball Champions last night. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Nowadays, it appears that we have to beat each other up and down in order to be a champion. But the UConn Huskies proved differently. An unranked team that gathered themselves and played to better themselves. They didn't need a particular ranking; what they needed was for each of them to show up every day and play to their level. Are you doing just that? Are you pretending you've got it all together? Or are you ready.... The K.I.S.S. ~ Play to your level! And that means focusing on your strengths and skills, and using them to the best of your ability. It means pushing yourself to improve, but not to the point where you're overwhelmed or discouraged. It means being realistic about your skills and setting attainable goals that will help you grow and develop, without setting yourself up for failure. One of the most important aspects of playing to your level is having a growth mindset. Instead of viewing your abilities as fixed and unchangeable, embrace the idea that you can always learn and improve. Even if you're not the best right now, with practice and dedication, you can get better. Every step forward is progress, no matter how small. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo And don't forget to focus on your journey, and not compare yourself to others. Everyone has their own unique path, and just because someone else is further ahead or more skilled than you, doesn't mean you're any less valuable or capable. Celebrate your own successes and be proud of your progress, no matter how small it may seem. And when failure does occur, because it will, remember that failure is not the end. It's a natural part of the learning process, and everyone experiences it at some point. Instead of letting it discourage you, use it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Analyze what went wrong, figure out what you can do better next time, and keep moving forward. With time and dedication, you'll be amazed at how far you can go. Congratulations to the UConn Huskies and the San Diego State. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the midst of challenges and busyness, your priorities and dreams can get lost. Don't lose sight of what matters. Buckle up, and learn how to do what's best for you. Just as quickly as the weather changes, so do our days; the ups and downs of the roller coaster that you don't even have to stand in line for. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But the reality is that we are weighted down by the responsibilities of the world around us. This past weekend was a little crazy for us. My husband is changing jobs and opening up his private business, which required moving and getting the whole family to chip in. We did it at the cost of me not showing up here for two days. But let me tell you, you were always on my mind. Of course, though, you know how this gets me thinking. We all fall into these unplanned actions that cause us to drop one thing for another. And then it because a spiral event of whether we will ever get back on track. You don't have to feel guilty for doing what's best for you. However, there can be a learning curve. Create the recipe that works FOR you! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create the recipe of what's best for you! This simply means how you can get back on track without losing sight of what matters in doing what's best for you. Step 1: Take inventory of the season of life you're in. Right now– What are your priorities, goals, and dreams? Are you happy with the direction your life is headed in? If not, what changes do you need to make to get back on track? It's important to be honest with yourself and acknowledge the things that are no longer serving you or bringing you happiness. You've gotta look at your schedule as to what is important in the present moment. Step 2: Make a plan Once you have a clear understanding of your priorities and goals, it's time to make a plan. What steps do you need to take to achieve your goals? What changes do you need to make in your life to align with your priorities? What do you need to give up, even for a brief moment? It's important to break down your goals into manageable steps so that you don't get overwhelmed and give up. Create a timeline and hold yourself accountable for following through on your plan. Step 3: Take action The final step towards doing what's best for you is to take action. This is often the hardest step because it requires us to step outside of our comfort zones and take risks. However, nothing changes if we don't take action. Start small and work your way up. Celebrate your wins along the way, and don't be too hard on yourself if you experience setbacks or obstacles. Remember, doing what's best for you is a journey, not a destination. And this can happen at any time. Use these skills to create your now; a strategy that will take you from overwhelmed to overcomer. PRAYER: May the hiccups of your every day not cloud your presence of today. What you do matters to God, to your family, to your friends, and to yourself. Life is not going to be easy, but it's always beautiful. Look to God, who gave you the sparks, and let it continue to ring loudly in your heart. "Be present. Be incredible.

Knowing your children does not come by only providing for their basic needs. You must be invested in their lives to understand and connect with them. Don't let busyness steal your children. Knock, knock, who's there? As we know it, with busy schedules and the rise of social media, it's challenging to find the time and opportunity to do know your children. That's why it's vitally important to be intentional and make a conscious effort to connect with your children. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Statistics show that there is a significant communication gap between teens and their parents. According to a survey by Common Sense Media, only 30% of teens said they talk to their parents about social media, and just 18% of parents feel knowledgeable about social media. Additionally, a study by Pew Research Center found that teens are more likely to turn to their friends for advice and support rather than their parents. As a parent, one of the most important things you can do is get to know your children. Parenting is not just about providing for their basic needs, but also about understanding and connecting with them. However, with busy schedules and the rise of social media, it can be challenging to find the time and opportunity to do so. That's why it's important to be intentional and make a conscious effort to connect with your children. Statistics show that there is a significant communication gap between teens and their parents. According to a survey by Common Sense Media, only 30% of teens said they talk to their parents about social media, and just 18% of parents feel knowledgeable about social media. Additionally, a study by Pew Research Center found that teens are more likely to turn to their friends for advice and support rather than their parents. So, how can you bridge this communication gap, really connect with your children, and get to know them? The answer is simple: knock, knock, who's there? The K.I.S.S. ~ Knock, knock, who's there? Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Parents have to find the balance of what they want in their family and start very early. And keep in mind, and I've said this before, we are not to be their friends; we are to parent - raising them to be productive adults so they can go out and impact the world they touch. That means saying no more than yes. That means disciplining them when it's not popular with their friends' parents. Approval is not the problem; taking action is! Start by asking open-ended questions that invite conversation, such as "How was your day?" or "What did you enjoy doing today?" Avoid yes-or-no questions that can lead to a dead end. Ensure you listen actively, giving them your full attention and showing empathy for their experiences. Find shared interests. Participating in activities they enjoy, such as playing video games or going to the movies, can help you bond and build trust. Additionally, setting aside time for family activities, such as game nights or outings, can provide an opportunity for quality time and strengthen your relationship. Be where your children hang out. Know and be aware of their online activity and social media usage. While social media can be a valuable tool for connecting with friends and staying informed. But it can also be a source of negative influence and harmful content. Encourage your children to share their online experiences with you, and educate them about safe online behavior and the importance of privacy. We are to provide not only for our children's physical needs but also their spiritual and emotional needs. As parents, we are called to teach and guide our children, which requires getting to know them and understanding their unique needs and personalities. Ephesians 6:4: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." We are to train up and teach our children! That's our job description as parents. CHALLENGE: Are you ready to be who your child needs? And if so, where do you need to start? PRAYER: May the hard days of parenting be prosperous for your child in the future. Hold onto God closely as you navigate these unchartered waters. Be refreshed in the evenings as you lie down, so your heart can handle the challenging days before you. Your children deserve to be loved deeper and wider. Give them this opportunity by raising them up by the Lord's standards, not your busyness. "Be present. Be incredible.

When you're constantly on the go, always striving for more, and pushing yourself to the limit, success seems to be inevitable. But in that pursuit, you often neglect to loiter in rest. Rest is not a luxury, but a necessity. It's essential for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In fact, God commands us to rest. In Exodus 20:8-10, it says, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates." God knows that you need rest. He created you with a need for it. Because when you rest, you allow your body to recharge and rejuvenate. You give yourself the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with God. You give your mind a break from the constant stimulation and allow yourself to simply BE. The K.I.S.S. ~ Loiter in rest! But rest doesn't just benefit you physically and mentally. It also has spiritual benefits. When you take the time to rest, you open yourself up to hearing from God. You give Him the space to speak to us and reveal His plans and purposes for our lives. In Psalm 46:10, it says, "Be still and know that I am God." So, if rest is so important, why do we often neglect it? One reason is that we have bought into the lie that we need to be constantly productive in order to be successful. But the truth is, productivity does not equal success. Success is found in living a life that is balanced and fulfilling. It's found in knowing that we are loved and valued by God, not in what we can accomplish. Another reason we neglect rest is that we feel guilty for taking time off. We believe that we need to be constantly working in order to prove our worth. But the truth is, your worth is not based on what you do, but on who you are in Christ. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." If you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, it's time to loiter in rest. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and allow yourself to rest. Spend time with God Reflect on His goodness Allow yourself to simply BE Remember, rest is not a luxury; it's a necessity. And when you rest, you position yourself to live a life that is truly fulfilling and abundant. PRAYER: May you find delight in allowing your mind, body, and spirit to loiter in rest. This is your day to rest. "Be present. Be incredible.
