Cherish Your Life
As of late, I have been sharing the message about the importance of cherishing your life whenever I feel compelled. Cherishing your life is important because it will joyfully transform how you approach life. The reality is, a vast amount of people in modern society do not cherish their life. Most are grappling with the strength to endure this rollercoaster. We are equipped to conquer each specific life challenge assigned to us and we are not to be subdued by it, but to evolve in spite of it. Conquering each challenge, overcoming the bad days that tried to take you out, and still standing throughout it all is reason enough to cherish your life. You are worthy of celebrating every intricacy that makes up your life. Yes, every single detail of your life deserves to be cherished.
Cherish each breath you take and the ability to breathe on your own. Cherish the voice you were gifted with and the ability to use it to speak/affirm. Cherish the victories, deliverance from strongholds, and rising up to greet new beginnings after sorrowful endings. Cherish the big and small gifts of thoughtfulness someone offers you. Cherish being you, exactly as you are for such a time as this. Cherish indulging in foods that delight your taste buds. Cherish new experiences that ignites your wonder, sparks curiosity, and broadens your horizon. Cherish your time and steward it well with your whole heart. Cherish each moment of joy by being fully present to immerse yourself in it and allow yourself to linger in it a little bit longer. May this inspire you to reflect on the importance of cherishing your life. Most of all, allow this impartation to press upon you the desire to cherish your life in new ways.
