Body Temple

Do you see your body as a burden and a hindrance to your spirituality? This has been a common false view for centuries, that spirit is disembodied pure transcendent essence, and the body is vulgar, base and vile. This is not Christian thinking. Do you remember that in the fullness of time I came as a man, in the flesh, and that I had no form or comeliness that men should desire me? If a body was good enough for me it is for you too. Is your view of yourself in need of redemption? Make peace with your body. Realize that it is not your enemy, that you may have an integrated view of your whole being, and serve me with joy in the temple I have given you.
