As always, you give us so many ideas for further meditation and consideration. The idea that "God wants to marry you" is beautifully illustrated in the Book of Osee in the Old Testament.

In beautiful literary prose, Osee tells us that his relationship with Gomer (a harlot whom God has told Osee to marry), is exactly like His relationship to His chosen people, Israel. God will long suffer our unfaithfulness until such a time as He chooses to draw us back.

We have a relationship with our body, a gift from God. How we treat it in many ways reflects how much we love God and appreciate what He has given us.

Thanks for the read!
