A Holy Temple

Today in church I was thinking to myself about the words "Your body is a holy temple." I often just think this means staying away from sexual impurity, drugs, alcohol, the "bad things" of this world. Immediately I start to think that I don't have to worry about this because I don't do any of those "bad things." What about the clothes I wear and the things I look at. What about how my body looks physically (I mean this in a healthy way exercise and such.) What about the words I speak? What am I doing with my holy temple?

I want to live my life to the fullest I mean overflowing with God's love and kindness towards others. I know this is not possible by my own doing but only through God and His love and kindness that can show through me. God is love and I want to show that to people. I don't want to be looked upon as a super high church goer or an everything goes kinda girl. I want people to see the real me and understand that I am nothing without Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

What are people going to see when they look at you? Are they going to see a person so in love with God and ready to share that you are just glowing? Or will they see dirt and grime that the world as left you with. Let's try first to live a holy and pure life keeping in mind that our bodies are a holy temple and secondly to look at others with the eyes of Christ.

"If you take a look at me, You might see, All the wrong things I've ever done. There are things that I'm ashamed of, things that I  regret, things I would take back if I could. We are spotless in the eyes of Christ, Washed by the blood of the Lamb. We are spotless in the eyes of Christ washed clean."
Spotless - Jill Osterhout
