Your Heart Needs Care Too

My dear son,

Care tenderly for your heart as you care for your body. Look beyond how much you accomplished and value your happiness and need for rest too. Seeing my beloved child smile at ease is precious to me.

When the spirit that helped someone endure illness is itself crushed, its weight should never be treated lightly. Listen to what another person needs instead of offering only a command to be strong. You need not feel ashamed when it is your turn to receive care.

This evening, speak to the Father who treasures your life. Enjoy peaceful moments and reach out when help is needed. I want both your heart and your neighbor's to be cared for gently.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 18:14

WEB

14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

A short reflection

Proverbs observes that the human spirit can sustain someone through illness, then asks who can bear a crushed spirit, revealing the weight of profound discouragement.
