This year let us not get stuck on seeing and complaining about our body images dislikes.
Let this year’s body declarations revolve around self-acceptance in Christ. We are not saying that we do not need to maintain a healthy body image which means engaging in fitness activities, eating healthy meals, and speaking words that build up ours and others self-esteem in Christ.
This means accepting that we are to praise God “because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:14 NIV). We are not to walk, act, and talk like our family members, co-workers, celebrities, mentors, or next-door neighbors.
