Your Question:
What if I'm not able to take care of myself?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with the idea of taking care of yourself. You're wondering if it's okay to put your own needs first, to live for yourself without worrying about what others think. But let me tell you, as someone who's been married for 19 years and has two beautiful kids, I can tell you that's not the answer. When we only think about ourselves, we start to lose sight of what's truly important. As a pastor, I've seen people struggle with the idea of sacrifice and selflessness. They think that if they put others first, they'll be taken advantage of or hurt in some way. But the truth is, when we put others first, we find true freedom and joy. We're not bound by our own selfish desires, but instead, we're free to love and serve others. And that's where the real happiness is found. So, if you're not able to take care of yourself, don't give up. Don't think that you're a burden to others or that you're not worthy of love and care. Instead, reach out to those around you - your family, friends, or a trusted pastor like myself. We're here to help and support you, to pray with you and for you. And remember, as the Bible says, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)
