Who Am I? Part 4

Hello, prior to my post tonight I want to inform you all that I will be leaving for a mission trip tomorrow morning, so my series on being a daughter of God and self-definition will be post-poned probably until after the holidays because I will be so very busy this coming week. I wish you a merry Christmas and pray God blesses you! Now, on with the blogging!

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

You are a daughter of God. You have a person you belong to - God. You are His princess. You are the apple of His eye. He loves you more than words can express. He sent his only Son to die for your salvation. Jesus Christ layed his life down for you - because he loved you that much, he loves you that much!

You are sacred; you are beautiful. You belong to God and he has a specific purpose for you. He made you with a specific plan in mind. His love for you is infinite. This makes you sacred. You were made with a purpose to serve the Lord and this purpose makes you important; this purpose makes you sacred!

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Treat yourself as a body that belongs to Jesus, as a body that Jesus lives in. When we enter a chapel we genuflect out of respect for the Lord. We need to treat our bodies with respect just as we treat Jesus with respect. We need to dress in a way that does not objectify us. We need to talk in a manner that shows we are children of God. We need to demand respect from others. We need to refrain from use of drugs and alcohol. We need to save sex for marriage and remember that we are a tabernacle for the Lord. Upon receiving communion, our bodies enters into our body. We receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord. Therefore, Jesus Christ lives in us in a most literal way. He is our strength. We need Him. We must learn to rely on him and him alone for everything because we can do nothing without him!

Because of all this, we must remember Jesus wants to live in us! Jesus wants to be the King of our hearts.  Let Him in. Let Him love you. Let Him heal your wounds. He is ever present in you and in your life!

Dearest Jesus,
We welcome you into our hearts. Please come and fill us with your Divine presence. We love you. Give us the strength to serve you in any way you may call us to serve.
amen

God bless!
Keep praying!
In the love of Jesus & Mary,
Amber
