This might be the most important thing I ever say to you. It might make you angry or confused. Or maybe you’ll embrace this truth with a sigh of relief or desperation.
Are you ready? Here it goes:
Your body is good.
Your body is good.
Your body is good.
Not because of how it looks. Not because of how well it functions. Not because it is disease-free. No, none of those.
Your body is good because it was created by a God who is good. Your body is good because it was made in the image of the Creator of the universe, a Creator who doesn’t make bad things.
Your body’s goodness is inherent. It is not based on its size, its function or its color. Your body is good because as God was creating the world, on the 6th day He said, “Let me make mankind in my image.” So he did. Then he said it was good.
Believing your body is good might not come easy to you.
But can I ask — Where did you get the idea that your body was not good?
Who told you that?
Who deceived you?
This is really important.
Because someone deceived Eve in the garden in those early days. We read in Genesis 3 that the serpent came to Eve in the garden with a question.
Not a physical weapon.
A question. “Did God really say…..?”
The most dangerous threat since the beginning of time has never been weapons. It has always been lies.
Lies that sow seeds of doubt that grow and reap destruction in our lives.
Lies that send us spiraling, doubting what God says about us. Doubting that God is near and listening and cares.
Friend, I need you to know that your body has always been good.
Not because of anything you did or anything it does. Because from the beginning of time, God declared it so.
We need to reclaim and live in this freedom. Because it matters and it will save our lives.
