Who Am I? Part 6

You are a daughter of God. You are sacred. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

For several weeks, I have been praying with this phrase. The first two sentences helped me a lot, but I have struggled to understand what it means when one says your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, other than you need to conduct yourself in a way that shows you are child of God, but what does that mean? Last night, I found an answer.

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 4:1-6 "I urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Holy Spirit..."

We need to be gentle, patient, loving towards one another - united with the Holy Spirit. We need to conduct ourselves in a loving way, striving to bring love to each person we meet. We need to be joyful servants of Christ and simply love. The greatest call we have is to love one another as Christ loves us. We must learn to look past imperfections and sins and love each person because they are a special creation, a child of God. If we remember that each person is a special creation, a child of God in each moment, of each day, with each person we encounter we can learn and do learn to love more freely because Jesus is in each of these people and so we must love Jesus in each person. If everyone conducted themselves in a manner of love, this world would be a different place. Be joyful. Be loving. Be gentle. Be patient. Be humble. Know the Holy Spirit lives in you. You live in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

Keep praying!
God bless!

In the love of Jesus & Mary,
