 Sending out hugs on this awesome Thursday morning.  It is going to be a great day!!!!!  You all have a great one. (BTW...it is so good to see some of y'all back on here.  I sure do miss everyone that has left.)   Love y'all!!! 

Do you know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  (1 Corinthians 3:16)

The Apostle Paul grew up as devout Jew.  He had a great deal of respect for the temple.  To the nation of Israel, it represented the presence of God among His people.  When Christ was crucified, there was no longer any need for the temple.  God was free to take up residency in the heart of man.  By referring to believers as temples, Paul was announcing that God had changed His residency for good.  Through the Holy Spirit, He has moved into the hearts of His people.  I began thinking about this the other day.   I need to make this temple a much better place to be.
