Somatic Focus
Take a moment to simply sit or stand, feeling your feet firmly on the ground. Place one hand over your heart and the other on your belly. Breathe deeply, acknowledging the physical presence of your current self, and offering a silent thank you to your body for carrying you through every past experience.
Daily Scripture
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." — Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are "God's handiwork," His masterpiece. This verse isn't just about our future good works, but about our very creation. It implies that every stage, every experience, every past self, has been part of His intricate design for who you are becoming. Just like a magnificent ancient tree, bearing the rings and scars of every storm and sun-drenched season, your life story is marked by every experience, all contributing to God's beautiful work in you. Today, our first step is simply to acknowledge this truth. No need for judgment, just gentle recognition. Embrace every chapter; it's all part of your beautiful journey.
