Spiritual Health

100% Hardcore Truth
Spiritual health can be defined as your relationship with God (creator of the universe). The closer you become in your relationship with your creator, the better you're able to cope with the daily stress of life. The closer you become in your relationship with your creator the more you understand his likes and dislikes. Religion has steered us from developing true relationship with our creator. I can't do this. I can't do that mentality has caused us to look for other means of spiritual health where one doesn't feel so restricted or bogged down by rules. This very thinking has jeopardized our relationship with God.
Relationship
Everyone has been in some form of relationship so let's look at a few examples. OK, you're a 36 year old male married with two kids. You've been married for twelve years, if you've been attentive in your relationship you know your wife a little bit. (...even though you're a man and think her thought process is not of this world. She says one thing and means the complete opposite, she cries when she's happy....) After twelve years of marriage you know better than to come home at 8 PM when you're finished work at 4 PM without calling. To women four hours seem like four days. You know to pay your wife a good compliment no matter what she's wearing. "Honey you do not look fat". You know to eat whatever she cooks and if you don't like it, I mean can't get the stuff down just say that say the food's great honey but we had some "potluck" at work and I think I ate too much. Then put the remaining uneaten food in the fridge for a few days. She'll soon forget about it and you can throw it out! Oh, under no circumstances throw that food out when she's looking. You'll never get another cooked meal for weeks.
My Point
You know your wife's likes and dislikes because you're in relationship with her. You know she just won't accept anything and if you want to get closer to her ("get some") you're better off doing what she likes. It's the same thing with our spiritual relationship. God won't accept everything; he doesn't like everything we do. Why do we try to force our creator to accept everything we do? Why do we divorce him and start new age relationships? Every one has to satisfy their spiritual needs. Having a relationship with God is unlike any other. Imagine you were to clone your wife and remove everything from her you dislike. Men I know this sounds good but your wife can see things you can't see. She can see it in you; she can see I in your decision making. A good woman is wise, they were naturally designed to create and improve. Even though we can't see it those things we dislike in our relationship are for our benefit. Your wife knows you talk too much about yourself during important presentations. Your wife knows that shirt does not go with that tie, yep and she'll tell yah. Spiritual Health is the ability to have a relationship with God and draw from that relationship in times of: CRISIS, FEAR, POVERTY, DISEASE, DEPRESSION SICKNESS, ADDICTION, ANGER, DESPERATION, FRUSTRATION, LONLINESS, CHAOS, DEATH, and apply it to that situation. Spiritual health is an important part of fitness and well being. Everyone should seek spiritual health. The closer you become with your creator the more you will grow spiritually.
