This is not the sort of thing I would blog about, but it's an important message.
Real talk.
I've been unusually convicted lately by the idea of caring for my body.
Recently I can't help but notice how the food that I eat and lack of exercise that I do will affect me and has already started affected me.
At this point in my life it's not that I want to be skinnier, or prettier.
I am honestly not caring for my body as well as I could, and I believe it is affecting my relationship with God and my abilities as a christian.
My soul belongs to the Lord and He has given me this one body to care for and love as a tool to spread His love and do His work.
I am a living breathing creation of the Lord because of this body He has given me with the command to go and do His work.
By not caring for the body I've been blessed with, I don't perform as well as I could.
I don't treat it well, I don't respect it.
If I don't respect this great gift I've been given, how will I respect and fully utilize my other gifts?
I know I want to give myself to God in mind and spirit, but do I want to give my body back to Him in it's current broken condition? Nope.
It's time to start being honest about what I'm doing.
I'm determined for positive steps to be taken.
I will take care of my self in the name of Jesus, in order to fully live out my
purpose on earth!
"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
1 Corinithians 6:19-20
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."
Psalm 139:13-14
