The Great Value of a Healthy Soul




The other day I received a very nice thank you note from a friend.
The note had a typed sentiment which read.....
You are everyday in our prayers, and
we wish above all things, (along with beloved John) that you may prosper and
be in health,
even as your soul prospers. (III John 2).


After thinking about this I concluded that wishing me above all
things that I prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers, was one of
the nicest things a friend can want for me.
I spent some time thinking about this.


My friend was wanting the best for me-
to prosper,
and be in health,
even as my soul prospers


I thought was my health and my soul connected? 

  
I spent a few hours researching this and interestingly I found that your soul
prospers first, then your health, then the good things in life follows.

Your soul and your health are very connected, and they occur in order. 
In order to enjoy the good things in life, if you're not in good health, you’re going
to miss out on some of those goodies. And, without good health it's difficult to
prosper.


So, if your soul is unhealthy, you’re not truly prospering, nor truly enjoying
good health.
The health of your soul is critical to the health of your body so you can enjoy the
fullness of life!

5 Thing a Man's Soul Wants Him to Know  ( 'Man' refers to all people)

This video explains the difference between the soul and spirit & your body and mind.



Your soul is what makes you one of-a-kind.
Your soul makes you, you.
Your soul, like your inner thoughts and emotions are what make you like no one
else.
Your soul is not a physical object like an internal organ, but without it you
couldn't live.
Your body needs your soul to live, but your soul housed within your body
doesn't die when your body dies.


The various degrees of health of your physical body is something you possess
and experience.
Most of the time you have a good idea of the state of your health by how your
body feels, performs, and functions.
Medical doctors and other health providers can help with ailments of the body.
When your physical body no longer has strength or is gravely damaged by
injury or severely weakened by disease, it can cease functioning and dies.


However, your doctor can’t test, operate or medicate on your soul,
nor can a psychiatrist counsel an unhealthy soul.
Since your soul is you, if your soul isn't healthy, then you’re not healthy.



The way to have a healthy soul is by way of the One who Created your soul.
We were created a soul to choose to allow or hearts and minds to come to know
the Lord. This also awakens our spirit so we can have a spiritual relationship with
the Holy Father through the Holy Spirit. By Spirit and Truth can we come to know
the Father.
Until then, you're not entirely alive or have a healthy soul.
Our heavenly Father desires an intimate relationship with every soul in the world.
and it's possible for Him to do that with ever soul at the same time,
any time of the day and night. 


Our Heavenly Father longingly desires us to know Him and commune with Him
because His love for you and I is without end. He desires the best for every
soul to prosper and have life to the fullest now and forever. 
He wants better for you than you want for yourself.
In the physical world we live in, we have physical bodies which will one day die,
but our soul and spirit live on.

This is all designed for us through Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior.
Through Jesus, our souls and spirits are awakened, made healthy to prosper
in the things which are truly worthwhile and lasting.

Prosperity is much more than money and material things
which will one day fade away.

Think about it,
and may your soul prosper.
