Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV
I toured St. Augustine today with my daughter and her fiance. We had a fun time going into the shops in the historic district. There are some neat things for sale. There are souvenirs, furniture, work from local artisans, and other unique gifts. But they all come with a price...from low to high to outrageous. Some things we would consider paying the price for, others not so much. But for something we really want, what would we consider a fair price? How much would we be willing to pay? And if we bought it, I know we would cherish it and take good care of it. After all, we'd want to show it off.
God must believe you are very special and he wants you very much. His son paid the ultimate price for you so you could spend eternity with him. So wouldn't you want to make sure you take good care of yourself so God can show you off? Your carriage, attitude, and character speak to the character of God. We must be the best representative we can be.
You were bought with a price. You are cherished. So cherish yourself.
