Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?
-- 1 Corinthians 6:19 (Today’s English Version)

With the Spirit of God inside you, you are a magnificent and marvelous being. You are dynamic, fearless, and spirited. You step lively, live righteously, and hold your head up high. Because the Holy Spirit is within you, you are one with God, treating yourself and His children with dignity and kindness. You are holy. You are divine. You are perfect.

Housing the Spirit of the Lord in your body, you have awesome power and ability. Your aptitude is above average, and your gifts are exceptional. There is nothing you can’t accomplish, nothing you can’t achieve. Grandness leaks from every pore in your blessed temple and self-assuredness beams from you like a glowing golden aura. With the Spirit of God flowing through you, you are unstoppable even when your enemies crowd you with obstacles and aggravation.

The Spirit of the Lord that resides in your precious temple radiates goodness, compassion, and love, and it makes you look and feel at peace when all others in the world are restless, joyless, uncaring, and cold. With the Spirit in you, you have the wherewithal to serve like the Lord, to be as humble as Jesus, and to turn your cheek as many times as you are offended. With the Spirit inside, you know you’re never alone, never empty, never without, and you can make it around every hairpin bend in the road.

Your body, the sacred temple, is free of poisons, free of disingenuous and insensible living. You protect the Spirit within from negative and distressing thoughts; drug and alcohol abuse; domestic abuse; overwork; overeating; hunger; sleeplessness; sex without commitment and intimacy; extra weight; scrapes and scars; the wrong foods; the wrong sources of energy; and debilitating fear. You stay clear of these ills and keep your Self balanced and prostrate because you don’t want to betray, insult, destroy, or prostitute the Spirit within.

The Spirit of God within your dear body beats and streams better and greater than your heart and blood and replenishes breath and life. If the Spirit of the Lord did not live inside you, you’d be no more that ashen flesh and dry bones. The Spirit within oils and keeps in motion every single part of you on every single day.

Spirit just wanted to remind you.
