Dear me,
Come closer, let’s talk. A proper, honest girl-to-girl conversation.
I see you. You have been very intentional about feeding your spirit lately — reading your Bible, praying, spending more time in devotion and less time on other aspects of yourself. Well done, good and faithful servant. Faithfulness in spiritual discipline is beautiful, but you are acting foolishly and you are not keeping the Law the Lord your God gave you – The Law of Your Being
You said Ha! You are surprised!
Let me ask you gently — did you assume I would applaud you for this?
There is something beautiful about spiritual discipline. The quiet mornings. The open Bible. The whispered prayers. The intentional decision to feed your spirit before the world touches you. It is noble. It is powerful. It is necessary.
You assume that being deeply spiritual automatically means you are growing. You increase prayer. We increase fasting. We increase devotion.
And yet, emotionally we are exhausted.
Mentally we are stagnant.
Physically we are drained.
Financially we are anxious.
Here’s the deeper truth: you cannot overdevelop one part of yourself and neglect the rest, then expect to step fully into who you are meant to be. That is not maturity; that is imbalance dressed as devotion.
Why then do you expect emotional emptiness, intellectual dullness, or burnout to disappear simply because you are spiritually active?
There is a law to your being — the way you were designed. Until you learn to honor that design, you will not fully express the woman you were created to be.
Think about something simple. When you are hungry, do you pray the hunger away? No. You eat. Because you understand that physical hunger requires physical nourishment. In fact, you cannot even concentrate well in prayer when your body is weak from hunger.
In the same way, emotional exhaustion cannot be solved by prayer alone. Mental stagnation cannot be solved by fasting alone. Financial instability cannot be solved by quoting scripture alone.
You would never pray to pass an exam and refuse to study. You pray and you study. That is alignment.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made — not spiritually only, but wholly. Many parts, one body.
Even God is One yet expressed in three Persons. Distinct expressions, perfect unity.
The same is true of you.
You mirror this truth – remember, you are created in His image, after his likeness.
Each part has a role in the whole
You have a spirit.
You have a mind.
You have emotions.
You have a will.
You have imagination and reasoning.
You have a physical body.
You have ambition and capacity.
None of these are accidental.
Every part has purpose.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” The head cannot say to the feet, “You are unnecessary.” If the whole body were an eye, how would it hear? If it were only an ear, how would it see?
Often, the parts we consider “less spiritual” are the ones we neglect.
Rest feels indulgent.
Emotional processing feels unnecessary.
Intellectual development feels secondary.
Financial planning feels mundane.
Yet these very areas, when ignored, disrupt the entire system. You feel it isn’t appropriate to neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables but soon murmuring of the tables you neglect in the daily ministration will grow louder and cause the church to pause.
Ignore your health, and it will eventually demand attention.
Suppress your emotions, and they will resurface in unhealthy ways.
Neglect your mental growth, and you will feel limited and uncertain.
That you looks that you said doesn’t matter, it is costing you more than you know.
If one part suffers, the whole person suffers.
Wholeness is not achieved by elevating one part above the others. It is achieved by integration. You are one body, but many parts. Every aspect of you matters
Each part has a role in building you up until you reach harmony within yourself — maturity, stability, clarity. When each part is functioning properly, you grow into wholeness. You are no longer easily swayed, no longer confused by ideas that sound spiritual but lack truth.
True growth is not about becoming “more spiritual” while everything else deteriorates. It is about integration.
Your emotions require care.
Your body requires rest.
Your mind requires sharpening.
Your finances require wisdom.
Your spirit requires nourishment.
When you feed each part with the right food, each part will do its work and strengthen one another. That is when you become healthy, grounded, and full of love.
Then you will no longer be easily swayed. You will no longer be impressed by ideas that sound profound but lack substance. You begin to speak truth with clarity and love, when each part does its work, the whole body grows strong.
The fullness you seek is not found in overemphasizing one dimension of yourself. It is found in honouring the design of your entire being. Until this balance is achieved, the fullness you seek will always feel just out of reach — like a mirage.
Many parts. One body.
If you had obeyed him –“the law of your being”, then the Lord would have established your kingdom
Wholeness is not weakness. It is wisdom.
Your highest Self,
Aarinola
