Temples

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

(1 Corinthians 6:19)

Isn’t it curious

that the holy,

awesome,

magnificent God

thinks us so precious,

so lovely,

so worth His attention

that He

literally

lives

in us,

makes us a temple

for His Holy Spirit.

Yet, knowing this,

so many of us,

think

ourselves worthless.

We listen to lies

that whisper

“Can’t”

“Won’t”

“Impossible”

“Failure.”

While all the while,

the Holy Spirit rests quietly in His temple,

yearning that we see ourselves

as He sees us.
