Weakness and failure
Accepting your body
Living at peace with your appearance and physical limits, without constant rejection.
What the Bible can tell you
I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
Psalms 139:14
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don't see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7
Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
1 Corinthians 6:19
A human reading
Your worth is not measured only by your appearance. The text reminds us that God looks at the heart. Caring for your body with respect is different from living at war with it.
