"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
In today's devotional she brought up that we can't separate the spiritual & the physical. This is a truth that I know in my head, but it hasn't made it's way to my heart. But it makes so much sense! What I do to my body affects me spiritually and how I am spiritually affects me physically. I am an image bearer of God & my body is His temple. I need to keep these truths at the forefront of my mind! I know that if these are my motivations & not just I want to fit into that dress again, then a healthier lifestyle can be a long lasting constant in my life.
A reader had written to her fearful that she could let God down. At first I was scoffing at it, but then I realized I have that fear too. Instead of using the words let down, I use disappointment & failure. I am so very grateful that He loves us no matter what & forgives us & continues to give us chance after chance!!!
