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? 

What is a soul?

  

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.

Soul vs spirit

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.

Money trees- the real ones

Money trees and the beanstalk Jack climbed are unfortunately not real. So there's no need to set out searching for one to grow in your back year.  But wait, that's not entirely true---Money trees do exist and what's so magical about them is they don't require water, just a generous hand to attach some paper leaves onto their frame, and voila, a good ole fashun' money tree ripe for pluckin'.

You may ask, how on Earth do I know money trees exist? Well, let me tell you sighting one is quite a rare treat. I've sighted not one, but two double-rainbows long before I laid eyes upon my first money tree.  But when I first saw it, I did a double-take. There it was, plain as day, settin' pretty upon a glass top table, not really wanting to be the center of attention. It was like one of those blossoms that only blooms once in ten years and fades fast. Just think, I could've missed it. But not that day. There it was, as real as could be. I got closer and it sho' nuff was in fact a real, honest to God money tree.

An actual money tree in full bloom

It was no fake 'real' money tree cause the leaves weren't 'play' leaves. I would rank seeing a tree like this as often as I'd see a double-yolked egg. So with permission, I took this photo for prosperity sake and proof.

I did some searching, and if you'd like, you can craft your own money tree  just in case you want to have a 'green back' thumb.

I have yet to come across a beanstalk I can climb, but in case you run into one, let me know so I can come check it out.

And,  I might add, there are things like this which are mean to enjoy on special occasions. That's what makes them rare and special.
