How to achieve the perfect body in 3 easy steps…
1) Heaven
2) Heaven

We have to stop “trying all the things” to get the wrinkles smooth, flatten the belly pooch from having precious babies, + firming the cellulite.
I am not against using the products and things you love that help you feel more confident.
But what I am saying is that our bodies will return to dust one day and all the striving we’ve done won’t matter, “our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us.” Ecclesiastes 12:7
The truth is, there will always be things about our bodies that we don’t love and won’t ever come around to loving. But just because that’s true doesn’t mean we can’t also be thankful for the body God gave us that the Holy Spirit dwells in, “Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary.” 1 Corinthians 6:19
Two things can be true at the same time.
Working out is worship- true. Excessive exercise to achieve a certain physique for the sake of what’s accepted is despised- true. I’ve rowed both boats.
A lot of things come down to our heart and what we believe.
Discipline is good. But as an author I admire so beautifully says, the “overs” are deadly. It can be all too easy to get into “over” disciplining, “over” achieving, “over” working and the list goes on + on.
Seeking Jesus and His kingdom first isn’t just so we can get all the material needs met but also as a governance for our very lives.
