We take so much time trying to please others. We do what we can to care for those around us, or at least try. We always strive to put other people's needs above our own. This is all great, and as Christians, we are called to do this. However, we are also called to care for ourselves before others sometimes too. 1 Timothy 3:5 says, "If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?" How should we expect to be able to fully help others to our full potential if we aren't taking time to improve ourselves? YOU matter. Make sure you are spending time to get yourself right mentally, physically, and spiritually. This makes it that much easier to help those around you.
