October 2, 2023 at 5:08 pmBeloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2 We spend a lot of time and energy taking care of our physical body. We want to feel good. But we donât spend enough time taking care of our soul. We donât realize how much our emotions, our attitudes, and our thoughts are affecting us physically. I want to encourage you today to pay attention to your inner life. Itâs easy to adapt to things that are poisoning us, and we donât realize it. We end up going through life just treating the symptoms. If we get to the root cause and get our soul healthy, we can have good health and good success. We need to ask ourselves: Am I making myself sick? Am I sabotaging my relationships? Am I limiting my potential, holding myself down because my soul is unhealthy? The writer of the book of Hebrews says, âSee to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile manyâ 12:15, It describes bitterness as a root. You canât see a root because itâs underground. But if you let it grow, itâs going to spring forth. Bitter roots produce bitter fruit. Whatâs inside will show up on the outside. Often, we only try to fix the fruit, but the fruit is not the problem. We need to deal with more than just symptoms. We need to go to the source and get rid of the root. Proverbs 4:23 says, âGuard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your lifeâ One of our main responsibilities is to keep the toxins out. Keep those roots from springing up. Offenses are going to come. Cranky coworkers will come. I know a fewđ You canât stop disappointments, hurts, controlling mamas, jealousy, and anger from coming. The question is, are you going to let them take root, get down in your spirit, contaminate your joy, steal your peace, take your energy, and open you up to sickness, trouble, and defeat? No, keep your soul healthy. You have to be an active gardener. Pull up those roots. Pull up the un forgiveness. Pull up the insecurity. Pull up the guilt and condemnation. Donât let your soul become poisoned. If your soul is bitter, your life will be bitter. If your emotional well-being is contaminated, itâs going to affect your physical well-being.
