Temple

I’ve been having an urge to learn more about taking care of my body in every way and so as I sat at my desk during work I felt the urge to express that to God.

Lord, as I'm sitting here drinking a cup of Cherry Coke, please show and teach me how to take care of this body that you have provided me with. Your word says that my body is a temple, full of wonder. Teach me how to honor the arms that effortlessly swing by my side as I take each stride with the strong legs you've given me, my hands that intentionally grasp to build & create, my heart  that beats at your command. My veins; boulevards for the traffic of blood you’ve set the momentum for, my lungs that breathe your breath of life, all managed by the epicenter of knowledge known as my brain; decorated with synaptic gaps continually sparking with purpose-filled neurons. You have created such a masterpiece from the dust of the ground and somehow we don’t need that original dust to continue regenerating.The glory cannot be given to any human or creature for Your wonderful creations.

I can only imagine how great Your thoughts are, they don’t come close to mine, although you do share them with me sometimes☺️. I love you and I want to live for you forever. When I think about how AWESOME you are I can’t help but smile and feel the warmth of love in my heart for you. We are forever connected because You chose to knit my soul with your Spirit and through your breath. I breathe deeply knowing that only you composed the elements within that same breath effortlessly flowing in and out of my nostrils and lungs. Teach me how to savor everything you’ve given me. I know I can never repay you but I’d love to present this temple as a LIVING sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You💕.
