Rest, Relax, and Connect with God

Check in on yourself.

Everybody has a different threshold to pain and pressure. Everybody has a threshold that can be broken. The Holy Spirit lives in you and works best when you’re at your best.(1Corinthians 6:19-20,NIV) Healthy people help people and unhealthy people hurt people.(Romans 8:26-27,NKJV) One of the ways we honor God is by taking care of our body, and big part of taking care of our body is rest and relaxation.
