“Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who comes from God and dwells inside of you? You do not own yourself. You have been purchased at a great price, so use your body to bring glory to God!” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 VOICE)
Cleansing and detoxifying diets are popular these days. They promise an array of health benefits including mental clarity, energy, weight loss, improved circulation, and decreased inflammation. Eating foods with medicinal properties can be nourishing to our body and mind. Practicing mindful habits can also replace harmful default settings. Caring for your body and mind is deeply honoring.
My body, mind, and soul are sacred. Thus, it must be cleansed and honored. The Holy Spirit dwells within me. I am neither entitled nor deserving of this gift. I do not own any part of myself. My life is continually sustained with much care. There is a purpose behind all this.
If we live however we please, we end up squandering what God created at great cost. Our bodies are temples--the meeting place where humanity connects with Divinity. God expresses Himself through us. We are sanctified in the process. This sanctuary must be taken care of and cleansed. Be attentive to what goes in and out. Let every thought, word, and interaction be honorable. Use your body to bring glory to God!
