Psalm 65:4 English Standard Version (ESV) Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!

Over the past few months choices have been made and we can only hope that love leads the way. We have to deal with many things in life and what we choose to do in response to circumstances can and does have lasting effects. They may impact many people and if love is at the forefront then those choices will be easier to accept.

While ponding the choices that love makes this verse came to the forefront. God has chosen us and we are blessed in so many ways. While we have not yet moved into that eternal realm it does not mean we are not in His presence now. The indwelling presence of our God is real and we are His temple.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 English Standard Version (ESV) Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

The abiding presence of the Holy Spirit is God and He has drawn near to us in a way that was never possible before. Living by faith is only possible because we have placed our faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.

We have years of experience in making wrong choices and suffering the consequences. We surrendered to Christ to change that and He has changed that. We need to be satisfied with those changes, the goodness of this abode is not conditional to the previous owner, us. The goodness is because of who He is in us.

Glorifying God in our bodies is about His outshining our humanity.

Let His light shine.
