Healthy Life

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well (3 John 2). In the same way that we apply discipline to our bodies so we can maintain good health, we also need to exercise discipline in the realm of our souls. We have to face the issues that so often dominate our thoughts and feelings – such as brokenness, unforgiveness, bitterness, rejection, lust, greed, envy, hurt and anger – and bring them into line with God’s Word. Otherwise, we are in danger of sabotaging our destinies. Many people are not using their spiritual gifts to their full potential because they suffer from unresolved issues in their souls. They constantly let themselves down because their emotional issues are never resolved. This soul-weakness is an Achilles’ heel that will eventually take them out of their race. We simply have to learn to deal with unresolved issues in our past in order to ensure a healthy soul life and therefore a healthy future.
