To My Body

FRIDAY, APRIL 1

Good Enough, 156-160     2 Corinthians 4:7-18
Today’s devotional reading is a letter to a body. What aspects of this love-hate relationship

with our flesh and bone do you identify with? How so?

Jesus, by His very nature, was incarnate—experienced life with a body. What comfort or, perhaps, confusion does that bring you to know that the God of the universe was embodied, too?

Paul says, “We have this treasure in jars of clay,” (2 Cor. 4:7) and goes on to talk about an inner renewal that goes on unseen, day by day, even though our bodies break or come undone. What is the treasure you hold within?

Make me content to settle into this imperfect body. In the stillness I look to You. Call me once again into wholeness, that I might draw from You the grace and mercy I need to be content. And live a life of love, from a grateful heart.

Amen.
