burdened in these “tents” and we long for heaven and our resurrection bodies (see 2 Cor. 5:4). This is relieving news because we can let go of the idol of fitness and the idea of the perfect body. I am never going to have a perfect body here. The sooner I can make peace with that, the sooner I can focus on getting fit in order to be healthy and to serve God well, while looking forward to the day when my body will be effortlessly perfect in every way.
