When you discover who God created you to be you'd never want to be anyone else. So my last post was all about food (in Finnish) and how it is wise to take care of your body through good choices. Setting healthy boundaries helps us to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. This applies to all dimensions of our lives, spirit-soul-body, relationally and individually. People perish for lack of knowledge says the Bible (Hosea 4:6). In that passage the people of God had ignored the law of God and rejected to KNOW Him, which was the reason God lifted off His blessing hand for a season and let them experience their folly. They rejected godly wisdom and were sinning against God, one another and themselves -- and the earth was aching under it's consequences. When I was thinking about ignoring understanding in general, I saw that our health heads toward a sure decay if we keep rejecting the "Help me! Stop running I'm in pain!"-signs that our body tries to give us. Hurt people hurt people. Waking up tired every morning... constantly? Staying tired the whole day - every day? Never getting excited about anything? Numbing your feelings..? Not allowing anyone to come close enough to truly see you? The list goes on. There is a cry within the heart of this generation that needs to be answered. I don't think those answers can be found apart from Jesus because all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3). So how did God, in His brilliance and captivating wisdom, create our bodies to function? That's an intriguing question indeed! Even though I begun in the context of nutrition, the answer doesn't solely lie in what you put in your body through your mouth but what goes in through relationships and what is cultivated between your ears. My desire is to see God's children WHOLE and HAPPY, mature and perfected in Christ – emotionally, relationally, physically, spiritually – not lacking anything. To get there, we must be intentional. But how to keep burning without burning out? How to cultivate the fire? How to sustain a revival? I'll leave it here this time and wish you an ABSOLUTELY BLESSED NEW WEEK.
