“Body Positivity” confuses our culture. In the same breath, our world tells girls to “love themselves as they are”, while celebrating women who shed the pounds and “look better than ever.”

Our bodies, made in God’s image, should always be loved and treated with the same respect we give to any of His creations. But it doesn’t end there, we also need to keep our souls healthy too!

We read in 1 Timothy: “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

God gave us physical bodies capable of great work, but more importantly, He blessed us with souls capable of even greater things: work for the good of His kingdom.
