Our bodies are IMPORTANT

So, I just had to write about why it’s important to accept and nurture our bodies for my nutrition class, and decided I would post it! Well first off, our bodies were given to us, and are a gift from God and a place where our Spirits reside. So we should automatically be grateful for that, and know that if we were just given our bodies and spirits from Heavenly Father, that’s pretty important. And since our Heavenly Father has created us, and given us our lives, we are forever in debt to Him, and owe it to Him to take care of our bodies and spirits. Our Bodies are also temples of the Holy Ghost, and we should treat it like we would a real temple by keeping the commandments, and choosing the right. And if we are responsible, and try everything that we can to serve the Lord, and only the Lord, then we will be able to live with our Families Forever in the eternities. And the choices we make now with our bodies, determines our happiness in Heaven. Which is why it is so important to get a body and Spirit, so that we can live with our Families happily, forever.

Elder Holland said, “Be a woman of Christ. Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. This Church needs you. The world needs you. A woman’s abiding trust in God and unfailing devotion to things of the Spirit have always been an anchor when the wind and the waves of life were fiercest… All of this is to try to tell you how your Father in Heaven feels about you and what He has designed for you to become.” We shouldn’t care about what everyone in this world thinks of us, it only matters what God thinks of us. When we do try to fit in with this world, we not only give up our true selves, but we give away our power as well. And this quote tells us just how powerful we really are, so we need to use our bodies and spirits for good!
