Proverbs 18:9 "He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer and he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide."
I think that verse is really deep-when I read it, my first thought was 'wow'. The last part of it is the part that affected me the most "He who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide" - I don't know why but that seems so profound to me, it is like God telling me that if I don't do the things I know I need to do to improve my health, I am actively killing myself. Wow. I believe that takes to a whole new level the premise "If you are not a part of the solution you are a part of the problem".
I pray that I can focus on that premise when things are difficult and I feel like giving in, like it doesn't matter. Each time I do something that is not positive and healing for myself, I am killing a piece of me. Just wow. Thank You so much, God. I really needed to read that and know it, both in my head and my heart.
