DB - Saturday 14th March 09 - Clearing Out The Clutter
Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? - 1 Corinthians 6: 19
Our Lord blesses us and delivers His Holy Spirit to fill our hearts and souls. It is never half full or half empty. It is always overflowing with His love and grace when we are prepared to obey and trust Him.
When we sin, we are grieving the Holy Spirit. We insert a nail into His side each time we sinned. We may be in control of our bodies and go anywhere we want but any action that does not abide by the standard of our Lord would hurt Him. Remember that it is no longer our old selves that live. Our own interest shall take second place. It is God's interest that we should consider when we invite His Spirit to enter our bodies. By acknowledging that He abides in us through His Holy Spirit would automatically give us the courage and strength to rise up to any occasion. We shall bring praise and glory to His Name. We can do this only if we do not harbour hate, jealousy, unforgiving, evil and ungodliness in our hearts.
We can hide and fool people. However, we cannot hide or fool God. He is the Creator of all new lives when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Master. Release the hurt, hate and harbour no ills in our hearts. There is no room for the Evil one. Our heart belongs to our Lord and in it He shall reside.
Don't let the Spirit reside in a cluttered heart. Take some time to clean it up today!
