Why do many young people struggle with negative body image?
JnaibeiBecause they have allowed the world to define who they are.
The world says you need to have a certain body shape, facial features, skin tone, height or body weight to be considered beautiful or handsome… and young people are falling for it.
But what does God say? He says you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:4) and that your body is the temple of the holy spirit.
I Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV
[19] Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? [20] For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
What’s your responsibility? Take care of your body; it’s a precious earthly vessel for serving God.
How can you do that? Use the acronym SEE. Sleep well, Eat healthy food and Exercise.
Above all, know that Jesus knows you, loves you, and seeks a relationship with you.
