Body Image

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said, "If I could change this, get rid of that, and add a little here, I would be happy."? If so, you find yourself among, well everyone. We are a product of a generation that is very aware of our bodies. It would be common for a "preacher" to immediately condemn this behavior. The reality, is our body is a temple, a creation of God. When we honor our bodies, we honor God. Obsession, may be a different story, but looking into a mirror can be a helpful tool. Seeing ourselves the way we are reveals a lot. Too often we close our eyes to what we see. Too often we try to never look. But looking at ourselves, introspectively, can lead to valuable realizations of what we need to work on. The problem is not that we evaluate our bodies, the problem is we neglect to evaluate the fit-ness of our spirits at the same time.
