A Dump or a Dwelling Place

In my mind comes the picture of a beautiful
field of bluebonnets mixed with orange Indian
paintbrushes.....a neatly mowed lawn and a
country home with an old fashioned porch.

Down the road away is a house hidden ...
not behind a neat hedge or a pickett fence...
but hidden from view by old rusty vehicles
including a boat...Scrap iron of all kinds
covers the ground.....which place would you
choose to live?

The words came to my mind lately, "Your body
is not a dump". The Bible says that when we
accept the Lord Jesus into our life, the Holy
Spirit comes to dwell in us. "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" I Corinthians 6:19
That is awesome!

So the question comes to me, "Am I treating
the temple of the Holy Spirit like it is a dump?"
