The temple
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
The Temple
The temple where the Spirit lives
should be God’s Hall of Glory.
Where you receive guests on regular days
to show them “Life” … the Redemption Story.
When visitors step into your heart
what will they find worth keeping?
Are there treasures … peace and solitude
or do they find you sleeping?
Are the treasures built on love?
Are compassion and carefreely gliding
on the wings of hope and tenderness
in the Image of Christ providing?
Caring for them with no place to go
whose despair and defeat seems endless.
No peace, no help, no place to rest,
is your temple there for the helpless?
By whom is this temple controlled
Is it formed by the Spirit?
Is the temple open all the time?
If not! You better get with it.
