Parallell

I often think it is so strange that we need so huge amount of food and sleep. The body needs so much attention! I have struggled with this, wanting it to need less so I can care more about other needs, non-physical needs. But now I saw it is a parallell between what God does to us and what we do to out bodies. We are far from perfect and have constant needs to fill so to bring out the best in us. God always takes care of those needs, without questioning our value and the fact that some part of us is temporary. That is what we shall learn too; love implicitly. We can not say we love if we don't love everything and everyone. Even though our bodies are imperfect and temporary we shall love it, trust it's latent wisdom and goodness, and take care of it as if it was an innocent and needing child. It is not always wise to think of us seperate from the body, because if the body is taken care of we have energy to do well towards others and we feel good and happy. I am not able to share happiness when I have not allowed my body enough sleep and food. And if God don't care about me I have nothing to give either.
