Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you. I Corinthians 6:19
When I was younger, I always heard it from my elders that “We have to take care of our physical body because this is God’s temple.” When I grow up as an adult, I’m always reminded of this statement.
I devote to take care of my physical body because this is God’s gift. Whatever body structure and size we have, it’s God’s best gift to us. It is just right to give high regard to our own physical body.
Getting a full body massage today made me feel lighter and better. I’d like to share with you the benefits of getting one.
