We are God's creation

I came home from work today and looked out in the backyard and saw that my hibiscus had finally bloomed! It was turned that it was almost hidden in the other flower pots. I turned it so I could enjoy it's beauty. I have to wonder if that is how God looks on us, His creation. We are doing the fruit of the spirit study and God is laying so heavy on my heart how in the OT in the temple, in the Most Holy Place, between the two cherubim facing each other with their wings spreading out over the ark of the covenant - His glory, His presence would...be.... so Holy that mere man would never dream of just walking in - the God we serve is so Holy, do I forget?
But, ....... now through Christ, we who have died to self and are walking anew, have this gift, this precious gift of the "Holy Spirit" living in us, we are the temples for God. He has given us a part of Himself to dwell within us. Imagine the Spirit coming down from heaven into us, then it is to fill us up and depart out through us making the image of the cross. Oh Father forgive me for not realizing daily what an awesome privilege it is to be a Christian. I pray that I will get rid of the me junk and be "filled" to the fullest with Him.

Why Christ is my Passion

The more I seek Christ in my walk, the more I find Him -
Psalm 18:1-2
I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
thank u Jesus
