A thought on verses I read yesterday...

"You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit from God. So you do not belong to yourselves." (1 corinthians 6:19)
"For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." (2 corinthians 6:16)

At this stage in my life, being nine months pregnant with our first child, it brings on a whole new meaning. I've been so careful to take care of myself for the baby's health...for this little creation that lives inside me, depending on my body, which depends on God to keep it working. And to think that not only is it because of God that she has been created and carried in my womb, but also that she will be born through it. And my physical self that has changed and grown to carry her, will change again to feed her and care for her after she is born. And the entire time, it is God who has lived in my heart and willed this all to be. He keeps her safe, healthy, and strong. It makes me stand in awe of the Lord, who has made and continues to make creation happen so perfectly.
