“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
- 3 John 2-4 -

In John's days, there was a Gnostic heresy; it taught that the spirit is good but the body is evil. This teaching neglected the caring of the body and the disciplining of the body's sensual desires. But the Bible teaches us holistic well-being, both body and soul. John's prayer in verse 2 clearly teaches this holistic well-being. This is the very reason why Jesus healed the sick, met the people's needs and taught people the words diligently. The foundation of the holistic well-being is loving the truth (1) and walking in the truth (3,4). May we walk in the truth in 2021 and have holistic well-being, body and soul. May we overcome the pandemic and the sins of the world.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us the holistic well-being through Jesus Christ. May this blessing be fully realized as we faithfully walk in the truth.
