A brain
from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins
Today I saw an image of a brain, prompting me to reflect on the division of our body, soul and spirit. Sometimes the words "spirit", "soul" (and "heart ") are used interchangeably but, essentially, our spirit is what connects to God's Holy Spirit in purity and goes on into eternity even when our time on earth is over. Our soul is our Mind, Emotions and Will which we can align with God or not. I have known people who love God dearly but their brains stopped functioning lucidly because of dementia, injury etc. However, despite their physical limitations, I witnessed their connection with God as still being so real. Similarly, when we depart this earth, if we have this connection with God, our spirit will remain with Him into eternity. My suggestion is that we don't just use our brain and logical thinking to decide on God's existence and whether we want our spirit connected to Him, but to dig deeper into soul and spirit now, whilst we can. Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation) tells us, "Don't copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect".
