Message
Charles Hudson Spurgeon said, “Everything depends upon the man’s personal condition; for the diseased eye beauty does not exist, for the disordered palate sweetness is no longer to be found, and to a deaf ear harmony is silent. Our happiness depends more upon our own personal condition than upon our surroundings.” The Scripture clearly shows us how keenly interested God is in our cleanliness and healthy living. He commanded Moses to ensure that the Levites were clean before they could execute His service.
We need to take regular bath to remove germs from the body, eat balanced diet and not junks, do regular hand washing and sanitization, avoid drug abuse (go for medical consultations), do normal bodily exercises like taking a walk or jogging; have enough sleep to relax the body and to reduce muscular tension, drink water regularly instead of carbonated drinks, take vegetables and fruits, etc. Do not forget that personal hygiene promotes fruitful interpersonal relationships, but an unhygienic youth does not have friends because of the stench that oozes out of his body.
