From: *Positively Alive! by John W. Adams
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. – John 13:17
God gives you the wisdom and ability to discriminate, to choose wisely, to choose those things that your body needs. God in you is infinite wisdom and intelligence always guiding you as you let Him, in all that you think, feel, say and do. He gives you the capacity to think rightly about what you eat and to intelligently regulate your appetite, choosing only food that is right for your body. You are wise to listen to and follow that guidance.
Infinite Intelligence in you knows what your body needs. It is in every cell of your body. It will tell you just what it needs in the way of nourishment and exercise. Listen!
A very important thing to remember is that your body is the temple of the living God. His loving, wise spirit lives in every cell and flows through your consciousness at all times whether you are aware of it or not.
God is the very life of your body – that which makes you intelligently and positively alive. The more you are aware of this, the healthier you are.
It is also important to remember to feed your body with wise and loving thoughts and words. Never disparage your body in any way, no matter how it may look or seems to be. Tell your body often how wonderful it is. Yes, it really is! It is the only one you presently have, so be good to it!
If part of your body doesn’t seem to function or look as you think it should, then bless that part knowing that God indwells it, and give thanks for that particular part doing its right work now. As you bless it, it will do its work even better and will take on a healthier, more alive and beautiful appearance. If an internal organ seems to need help, bless it and it will function more harmoniously and perfectly. When you bless one part of your body, it affects every other part.
God gives you the ability to choose only alive foods – foods that do not have be slaughtered or to experience violence in order for you to be fed. Allow Infinite Intelligence in you guide you in selecting only alive foods such as fruits, grains, nuts, legumes, and vegetables. All the nutrients your body needs for proper nourishment and maximum performance are abundantly provided through these excellent sources of food.
As you practice this wise and loving way of eating, you are contributing to the peace, love, harmony, health and prosperity of our planet, as well as yourself.
Eating in this way provides you with all the strength and energy you need. This is the way of a healthy, happy, vibrant life. And, it helps you to have the beautiful, strong and healthy body you desire – one that is truly positively alive!
Affirm this Positive Prayer:
God gives me the ability to control my appetite, select my food wisely and lovingly, and to choose the way for me to be positively alive!
