Most women want to go to a spa for physical refreshment. However, we must also recognize our need for spiritual renewal in the inner person, the very essence of who we are—our soul.  No one knows our soul’s condition except for God.  Sometimes we aren’t even in touch with how we’re doing.  But, chances are, if we are busy living one lifestyle while longing for another, then we are in great need of replenishing our souls through God’s spiritual spa.

 

Before going to a spa, you don’t focus on getting your makeup and hairstyle perfect.  Instead, you throw on casual clothes and go as you are, assuming the experts will work on you and turn you out nicely.  “Come as you are,” Jesus also says to all people today. “Come with all your insecurity, your fears, your depression, and your imperfections.  Come, and I will love you into wholeness.  I will heal you and give you hope.”  

 

Spa for the Soul (Broadman & Holman, April 2006) is for women who also seek an oasis where spiritual and emotional health can be rejuvenated.  The spa metaphor blends biblical teaching and modern application for true restoration.
