Reconciling With Our Bodies

So many people in our modern culture view their bodies as if they are some kind of vehicle that they, the "real person," ride around in.  You probably have that habitual view, too.  But you know that this view is mistaken, when somebody injures or against your will grabs hold of your body, and you say, "Hey, you hurt ME," or "Let go of ME."  Your body IS you.  Your psyche IS you.  Your spirit IS you.  As we are made in the three-person image of God, so we, too, are a "mini trinity."  Because of this, we can learn a great deal about our SELVES from our bodies.
