There’s a lot of talk these days about self-care. We’re encouraged to get outside, take time for ourselves, or listen to a podcast—whatever we need to care for our minds and bodies.

There’s nothing that comes even remotely close to the care of our souls. Our physical bodies die, and all our efforts at taking care of them expire. But our souls live on for eternity. Soul Care: Nurturing Your Spiritual Wellness, ...

You need love. Everyone does. It’s the object of a near universal quest. And that’s by God’s design. God made you out of love. He made you for love. And he made you to show love.
