Fitter, Healthier, Stronger

Lord, what have I gained
if i eat wisely and well
but neglect to dine at Your table;
if I work our faithfully
while failing to exercise love;
if I give myself to the pursuit of fitness
yet am not fit for Your kingdom?
Earthly disciplines fortify
the body for a lifetime.
Heavenly disciplines strengthen
the soul for an eternity
