There is a huge importance placed on being successful than being Whole! We give more importance to how great or well we are doing on the outside, than on how well we are doing on the inside, hmmmmm! HOW HEALTHY IS OUR SOUL?
Many will not admit the above truth, but yet it is so obvious we are living it out!
We have given so much concentration on the success of our ministries, jobs, career, studies, people, marriages, business, mission fields, the list goes on; even we have sacrificed ourselves for the cause of Christ { We have given our bodies to the flames….(I Corinth 13:1-3} BUT yet neglected our souls, our being!
The Soul not cared for will be lost-{Lord we performed miracles in Your name! and Jesus responded,”I know you not”}.
We will suffer burn out, fail morally, depressed, anxious, unfulfilled,unstable, more opened to temptations, wounded relationships, unsettled, unstable etc!
SOUL WELL BEING is all about living from a place of of overflow, learning to stop for conversations, the chance to read, to rest, to open up to God’s presence, guidance and ultimately- love.
The secret to a strong, healthy, and fruitful ministerial life lies in how we work with God in all of these dimensions. Together they make up the real person. They are the inescapable sources of our outward life, and they almost totally determine what effects, for good or ill, our ministerial activities will have. Natural gifts, external circumstances, and special opportunities are of little significance. The good tree, Jesus said, “bears good fruit” (Matt. 7:17, NASB). If we tend to the tree, the fruit will take care of itself.
The inner dimensions of life are what are referred to in the Great Commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself” (Luke 10:27, NASB). This commandment does not so much tell us what we must do, as what we must cultivate in the care of our souls. This is true for all believers and is certainly true for ministers of the gospel.1 Our high calling and sacrificial service can find adequate support only in a personality totally saturated with God’s kind of love, agape(see 1 Cor. 13).
SOUL WELL BEING is all about bravely living into the destiny that God has for you. In His power, under His direction, and in His way. ” Mindy Caliguire.
