God’s Temple

I want to be healthy.

I don’t need to be “thin”

I don’t need to be a size 4

I don’t need to be a 36-24-32

I don’t need to be 5’10” tall

I don’t need to be a super model with big hair.

I don’t need to be a “clown” covered in every popular piece of makeup

I don’t need these things in order to be beautiful.

I am already beautiful-because God made me and because God cleansed my impurities away with His blood.

And I want to exercise and eat a balanced healthy diet-because I want this body that He has given me to be healthy.

If we take such wonderful care of our homes, and our cars, and our jewelry, and our clothes, and our treasured items, then why can’t we take care of God’s temple that is our bodies?
