If we’re honest, we’re not thriving; we’re merely surviving. We're running on fumes, pushing through exhaustion, and tragically, we're calling that strength or even 'being a good Christian.' But the God we serve, the God who created us in His image, did not design us to live a life of perpetual depletion and just getting by.

The very essence of His desire for us is found in John 10:10, a verse that has anchored my spirit through so many seasons:

‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.’

And that abundant life, dear listener, isn't just spiritual or emotional. It absolutely includes your soul and your physical body. Think about it: how can you fully engage in the abundant life Jesus promised if your body is constantly breaking down, if you’re always fighting chronic fatigue, or if your energy levels are consistently at rock bottom? You can't, not to your fullest capacity. That’s precisely the heart of our conversation today—unpacking what it truly means to honor these incredible bodies, these living, breathing temples of the Holy Spirit, so you can truly live that abundant life He designed for you.
