My Reflections

Taking Care of The Holy Spirit's Temple

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Romans12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Am I paying attention to my physical, emotional, and mental health? In what way do you think your health in these areas affect your spiritual health?

Answer:
I think by taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional needs, we are taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are to be Holy as God is Holy. We would not want to let a building used for worship to be in poor repair. Therefore we need to take care of our bodies too. We are an instrument of praise towards God, made for his glory in his image.

On the other side of the coin, we are to pursue our spiritual relationship with the Father first and foremost. In doing so, everything else will fall into place.

Prompt: “Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.” Margaret Mitchell
Your thoughts on the quote and/or since we’re born into this life, shouldn’t we expect at least something, be it a minute thing?

Well, this is a quote that requires you to think kind of deep. It may not be good for us overthinkers. Lol Unfortunately, to many of us have a sense of entitlement. I think the quote is true. It is not saying we can not expect certain things. The quote is saying that life is not under obligation to give you what you expect. Therefore we get another quote, “Always expect the unexpected.” 🤷‍♀️
