Your Body Is A Temple

Our cars are often our most prized possessions. We put expensive oil in them, bathe them with special soap, wax them until they shine and fill them only with the right fuel. We park across two spaces to lessen the chance of dents. We don't run them on empty or when they get too hot.

On the other hand, we expect our bodies to skip meals and run on empty. We fill them with the wrong fuel and wonder why they run out of power. We run them too hard or not at all. Rarely do we give them time to rest.

God came to us in human form in the person of Jesus Christ. By this we know that God values our bodily existence. Surely we can honor this gift with as much respect as our material possessions.
