«Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, [...] and you are not your own?» 1 Corinthians 6:19
What do you put in a garbage can? Leftover food, peels, rotten things, right? What do you put inside your body or outside of it? Healthy food, comfortable clothes?
When people don’t eat fruit, vegetables and greens, and only eat sweets and snacks, the body doesn’t like it. Then people get headaches, stomach aches, a fever, and they get sick.
Whatever you decide to put in your body or on your body, it must be something good that makes you healthy and that gives God joy.
Our body is God’s dwelling place. Put your hand on your forehead. There is a space there where God communicates with us. When you eat things that aren’t healthy, watch or listen to things that aren’t good, go to sleep too late, or spend a lot of time in front of the TV, that part of your brain won’t work well and you won’t be able to hear God speaking to you.
Do you want to keep God’s dwelling place nice and clean?
Let’s practice!
Draw God’s temple and put your name on it.
