"Knowing God and knowing ourselves are inseparable. For this reason, cultivating a Spirit-filled, self-awareness of what is happening inside us is critical for spiritual maturity.

Is it any wonder Augustine wrote in the 5th century: “How can you draw close to God when you are far from your own self?” And that of an author in the 16th century: “Nearly the whole of sacred doctrine consists in these two parts: knowledge of God and of ourselves.”"

One Family. One Response.

The Wesleyan Church, through Global Partners and World Hope International, is responding to the recent earthquake in Mindanao, Philippines.

Please join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in the Philippines and consider making a gift today.

Churches, families, and communities across the affected region are facing significant challenges as they recover from the impact of the disaster. Reports from local leaders indicate that five Wesleyan churches and a district center have been destroyed, leaving congregations without places to gather for worship and ministry.

Your prayers and support can help provide emergency assistance, strengthen local relief efforts, and support long-term recovery and rebuilding.

Here are two ways you can give:

TWC GP Emergency Relief Fund (100% of gifts go to a general fund for support where needed most) http://twc.onl/fhPj50ZafyS

WHI: http://twc.onl/IJxC50ZafyR

Together, we can remind our Wesleyan family in the Philippines that they are not alone.

Friends, there are no trophies for exhaustion.

No prizes for being worn out. No awards for being at the end of yourself. No accolades for being overwhelmed or burned out.

Take care of yourself. Take time to do things that make you strong and bring you joy. What's one thing you can do today to get rested, renewed, and rejuvenated?

"Our culture says that everything has to be for something.

Reading is for self-improvement, hobbies are for enrichment. Your crappy watercolor painting has to hang in the living room or else that afternoon was a total waste. Didn't you know you're supposed to be getting better all the time?

It's called Hyper- Instrumentalization, the obsession with use, and it's a symptom of the pragmatism that has wound its way into almost every part of American culture.

How useful was your day?

When our lives get overwhelming, it's tempting to begin to use this logic as a weapon against ourselves. But the self-help and wellness industry might not be helping us. Some things can't be fixed, or at least not that easily. It might seem counterintuitive, then, that when life is at its worst, I can't turn to doing nothing.

When a week is full of to-do's, meetings, hospital appointments, or when we can't seem to get out of an anxious thought loop, we need to do something for no reason at all.

When the stakes are low, it just feels so good to try.
What's something you love doing for no reason at all?"
