BeInHealth Update:
Many diseases seem to come out of nowhere. The medical community says the etiology is unknown, which means doctors have no idea how it originated. The Bible says we are spiritual beings. We have a spirit, and a soul, and we live in a "mobile home" called a body! When there is something wrong in our spirit, that problem can become a diagnosed disease in the body.
Bad relationships can damage us to the core. Being rejected, abandoned, and having a broken heart, are the foundations for sickness. Sometimes in relationships we may find ourselves wanting to please people but feel unable. Maybe we are still re-living old relationship mistakes from the past. Maybe we read the Word and all we hear is guilt and condemnation, self-hatred, and heaviness that come from our failures, and can be destructive to the heart and the body. People who get stuck in grief, guilt, or anger are targets for the enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy.That road never leads to peace, joy, or anything else God promises.
God has a better way! Forgiveness, love, joy, patience, kindness, and self-control are some of the fruits of a relationship with Him. The chemicals released by unforgiveness coming out of bitterness are extremely destructive to our body. Forgiving others is the most important thing you can do for your health.
Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
We can leave behind all the harm of the past and choose God's way instead. That's where healing begins. When we trust God to lead us into all truth, we can approach relationships without fear of rejection and abandonment. Our lives will be peaceful and whole. That's good for our health!
