I detest water. Yep I said it. It does not quench me on a hot day or provide me fulfillment after exercise. It has no taste and nothing makes it visually appealing to my eyes. I mean come on people haven't you heard of a coke? Now that's what I am talking about.
Yet it is a necessity for our bodies. That I can't dispute. I would rather give up all the chocolate and pizza in the world than rather drink water ALL day. Too bad for me that isn't an option. To become the person I know I have been called to be I have to become mentally and physically healthy. Note I am not saying skinny. I am a realist. So water is the key to kick start this process.
Some of the benefits of water are:
1. Helps energize muscles.
2. Helps control calories
3. Makes the skin look younger.
4. Helps maintain the balance of body fluids.
5. Helps flush your kidneys.
The list goes on and on. Sounds like magic write? The problem for me is the commitment to it. Everyday??? All day??? I think after two glasses I have succeeded the mission. Now give me my coke. Kidding!!!! Maybe...
While one glass is a great start to having better health and a better body it has to become a long term commitment. A life changing process where you value water more than anything else you place in your body. Then the healing begins.
So are you hydrated? Are you getting the daily amount required to live a healthier life?
Next question? Are you getting the same sustenance from the Lord? Do you take in the Spirit and the Word for a fuller life?
It's no secret that I have been wallowing in grief for awhile but now I am being drowned in the grace of God. He quenches my every need. Wow God is so good.
Here are the benefits of daily communion with God.
1. Abundant life. He fills you with emotions of contentment and thanks so nothing else becomes a necessity.
2. Real Truth. Soaking in His word shows you the real you. You can scrub off all the dirt you have layered on to blend in or hide from this world. He gives you a mirror too see the brilliant amazing you that no one else can define.
3. Forgiveness. He FORGIVES you. He forgave you the moment our Christ shed His blood. Walk into that grace. Heck swim in it. Being free of shame, guilt, and hurt is a glorious thing.
4. Faith. This beautiful release from worry and anxiety is such a refreshing tool for your body. Daily struggles and worrisome events begin to flush right through you. They no longer dwell.
5. Conviction. You are filled with determination and armored with the Word of God to keep moving. Blast past those road blocks that want to stop you in your tracks. You will be ready to go in directions you never knew were there.

6. Joy!!!!!!!! Sweet pure intoxicating joy.
Ah the refreshment of the Spirit. Now that is better than a coke. Being filled and nourished by God is like being covered in your favorite blanket on that first snow fall. It is rejuvenating like when your toes step in the sand at the beach on the first day of summer.
Oh my friends the benefits go on and on. They are infinite and enduring and more refreshing than a glass of water in my opinion.
I pray you partake in the daily process of soaking in our Lord.
