Body, mind and soul. They are undeniably interconnected and their conditions are dependent on one another. A healthy body is not a requirement for faith and intimacy with God, but I’ve found in my experience that when I care for the basic needs of my body, my spiritual life flourishes. What we eat, whether or not we exercise, and what we do in our free time can all help or hinder our relationship with the Lord. I can say with confidence from a God-given place of wholeness in Christ, there is a very real tie between my physical wellness and the state of my soul.

 

Loving has nothing to do with getting it right all the time. Loving—the real deal that only God can help us do—always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevered. That kind of gracious loving never fails. Your parachute might. But love…never love.
