“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from? You are not you own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Cor 6:19

God made you special.  God loves you just the way you are.  God gave us our bodies and made them perfect in His image.  We do not need to worry about what our bodies look like. We just need to take care the bodies gave us.  You are so special and so perfect that God chooses to live inside of you.

To take care of our bodies includes our minds also.  Taking care of our bodies means making healthy choices about what we eat and what we do with our bodies, to our bodies. We need to make sure we eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water.  We should stay active and exercise to keep our muscles strong, hearts and lungs healthy.  We should make sure everything we do to our bodies and in our bodies glorifies God.

Our minds also grow as we learn and memorize scripture. We can not always help it when a not nice thought comes to our mind but we can choose not to keep thinking about it and instead think about what good things God says instead. This is where learning scripture can help and with the Holy Spirit inside of us, He will help us to remember the right scriptures at the right time.

God created every part of us and made it special to glorify Him and honor Him.
