A Meditation on God Loving YOU Just As Much As He Does Jesus

Psalm 16:8-9 NIV Just imagine being alone right now with the Lord of Heaven and Earth, who rules over every detail in your life. “Not even a sparrow falls to the ground apart from the care of your Heavenly Father,” Jesus says in Matthew 10:29, “and he has numbered the very hairs of your head.” Jesus’s point was the same as Psalm 118:1, that you can trust in his goodness and his steadfast love for you right now. He rules over everything in his entire universe, and he is right there at your right hand — Imagine this. Your entire body resting secure in the love and care of your Father in heaven. In biblical meditation, you’re intentionally focusing your thoughts and using the power of your imagination to experience the reality of God's presence and promises in your life. In addition to that, what we want to do in this meditation is mentally reintegrate our body with our soul. In modern society we live these bifurcated lives where our soul is often mentally disconnected from our awareness of and spiritual health of our body. Our bodies need spiritual health. They are part of our soul. When we are not doing well spiritually it affects our bodies. When this happens, we can store stress and anxiety in our body but our mind is not aware of it. King David talks about this a lot in the Psalms, like Psalm 38. In this meditation, we want to reintegrate our body/mind/spirit connection by using our biblically guided imagination to bring spiritual rejuvenation and strength to our whole being — mind and body as a whole. Embracing our whole body as an important part of who we are. And that way we can sense when we have stress and anxiety and insecurity and deal with it on the soul level.  John 17:23 (NIV) Let’s make sure we slow down and really catch the amazing truth in Jesus‘s words — The God who created everything everywhere in the universe is in you by his Spirit — including your body — through Jesus.  How all this works
