1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
Again? Okay, I get it. My temple is dirty. I will clean it like how I cleaned my room with my roommates today. Fine fine.I took a shower too! My body is clean! What do you want?
But wait - why is my temple dirty? Is it because of impurity? My imperfections? My selfish motives?
One thing I realized is that I like being liked. Actually, I love it! I love when people think I’m awesome. I love having friends and pretending to be popular. Except that sometimes this pleasure allows me to transform my
temple for God. Suddenly, I make it into a magical building. Magical – not with His holy spirit, but with my own fake powers. I decorate this place into an exclusive dirty dance party, a castle filled with luxurious goods, a museum with one exhibit - The Hall of Juliana.
I have asked God to transform me into a woman of understanding. I want to be able to feel the thoughts of other people and various values. Now, I ask Him the same but for me to have a strong foundation in Him. With the platform of His love, I won't need to be running back; I'll already be there. I want to be challenged in my thoughts with the confidence that I can win in His name.
Do not let me change for anyone else. This temple doesn’t change with guests. Jesus is my guest. He will always be my main, special guest of honor.
Party at my temple! With Jesus Christ!
