“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? … So you must honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
It’s easy to think, “This is my own body; I can treat it how I want to.” But God asks us to be good stewards of our amazingly complex and wonderful bodies, which he made. Respecting our bodies and our physical needs is a way of respecting and honoring God.
