Hello all!
I am new to Diet Bet and I'm on day 2! I am looking for a group here in Diet Bet where I can get encouragement and support with scripture. There doesn't seem to be much activity in this group, but I hope to see more soon!

As I guzzle my last bottle of water for today (I am currently up to 60 ounces), I am reflecting on the following verse:

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
For ye are brought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

As I work to get healthier, I must remember that my body is not mine, but God's and I must treat it as such in order to honor Him. Aren't we usually more careful with things that we borrow than with our own possessions? So throughout the day, I need to ask myself: How do I care for His body? What do I feed His body? What do I need to do to ensure His body lives a long, fulfilling life?

It'll be a difficult journey, but with Christ, all things are possible!
:)
