LEARNING TO CARE FOR YOURSELF 4/05/09
HEARD: Being responsible. Tell me how you do
it. I am here to help you.
[I was the following tonight after hearing the above
this AM. I felt it was relevant.]
QUOTE JOYCE MEYERS:

“I found out that if you don’t take care of
yourself you are not able to take care of anybody else.
It’s very simple. I found out something very valuable
to me. I can not give away what I don’t have. If I
don’t love myself, I can’t love you. If I am not
peaceful I can’t bring peace into your life. If I have
no joy, how can I give you joy? If I have no strength
and no energy and I’m sick half the time and feel bad,
how am I going to feel like praying for you, ministering
to you, helping you, or even being nice to you? ...
You have to spend some time loving yourself. And that
doesn’t mean to be in love with yourself. It means to
respect yourself enough to take care of yourself.
I take care of myself. You’d better be happy that I do,
because I wouldn’t be here doing what I am doing
tonight, I wouldn’t be running all around the world at
my age. I would not. I would be somewhere finished
because I would have burned out a long, long time ago.
I take the time to exercise. I make an effort to eat
right. I take care of my skin. I do things to keep
myself in a way that I believe brings glory to God and
it will keep me strong and healthy.”
