Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Shame often convinces us that tending to our needs either means we don’t matter or that we’re being self-centered, but neither is true. Jesus Himself modeled boundaries, rest, prayer, and solitude as a way of stewarding His life and ministry, showing us that caring for ourselves enables us to love and serve others more fully. Choosing self-care is choosing stewardship of the life, relationships, and calling entrusted to us—because when we are healthy, everyone around us benefits.
