Your Question:
What if I'm not able to take care of my physical health?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their physical health, and it's a concern that's close to my heart. If you're not able to take care of your physical health, it can be a real challenge. I think about my own life and how I've had to adjust my schedule and priorities when I'm not feeling well. For example, I might have to cancel a sermon or a meeting at the church because I'm feeling too tired or in pain. As a husband and father, I also worry about how my health affects my loved ones. My wife Susan is always looking out for me and making sure I'm taking care of myself. And my kids, Joshua and Rebecca, they're always asking me if I'm okay and if I need help with anything. It's a reminder that our physical health is not just about us, but also about those around us who care about us. But even with the challenges of physical health, I believe that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and that we should strive to take care of them as such. As Christians, we know that our bodies will eventually wear out and we'll be given new, glorified bodies in heaven. So, while it's okay to struggle with physical health now, I think it's worth considering what activities we might be able to do in heaven that we're not able to do now. Perhaps we'll be able to run and play and enjoy life in ways that we can't now. But even if we can't, I believe that our eternal life with God will be full of joy and purpose, regardless of our physical limitations.
