BE WHOLE (Body, Soul, Spirit)

Each of us is made in the Spiritual image of God, our creator.

Each of us is the sum total of 3 distinct parts making up the whole of who we are.
a) BODY
b) SOUL
c) SPIRIT

The Body is our physical being. (muscles, bones, organs etc.)
Our Soul is our mind, intellect, emotions, and will.
Our Spirit is who we are on the inside (made in the image of God).

The Spirit within influences our Soul (mind and emotions).
The Soul motivates the Body.
The Body moves out into the world.

Try to visualize three circles, descending in diameter, inside each other.
a) The large outer circle is the Body
b) The next medium sized circle within the larger one is the Soul
c) The third and smaller sized circle is our Spirit. (who we are, the essence within our being)

Each of us is given a mustard seed size of God Faith within Our human Spirit circle.

Our own spirit is carnal (worldly) at birth.

Picture the mustard seed of God’s Spirit as a triangle within the smaller inner Spirit circle of each of our beings.

Draw the three descending size circles with a small triangle in the center to help yourself visualize the picture which I am trying to make with words.

When we seek more of God, when we search for Him or even begin questioning His existence, we will find Him. God’s Spirit, The triangle within our human Spirit will begin to grow.

God gives each of us the gift of Faith but we, individually, have the choice to receive it, grow it, nourish it, and nurture it. This triangle is His free gift within us.

The New Birth is when God’s Spirit within us is believed and received. Now God’s Spirit triangle, within our Spirit inner circle, can increase.
Visualize God’s triangle filling up a greater area of our Spirit circle. Our own spirit circle decreases in size as He fills up more of this space with His Spirit.

God wants us to be whole. When I feed my body, mind, and spirit daily, my life stays in balance. When one of the three parts is not fed or is lacking my whole system suffers.

I pray, “Lord ,Thank you for giving my body food, my mind teaching and wisdom, and my spirit your word and the gift of faith.” “ I do love you with all of my mind, body, and spirit. Thank you for your faithfulness.”
