Each human heart is a temple wherein God dwells

[Mark Dohle]

Each human heart is a temple wherein God dwells

It does not take much to make most people feel more at ease.
More than we know, people are used to being ignored or passed over,
or, only given a cursory nod of attention. So, when someone smiles at them,
and talks to them it can be a time of joy.

We are made for relationships with God, as well as with others. Much suffering
is brought about by treating others as if they are props on a stage or something to be used.

Jesus meant it when he said, whatever you do to the least, you do to me
. each human heart is a temple wherein God dwells, each precious, irreplaceable.

It is not always easy to be open to others because each of us has a burden to carry
that can a times be very draining. When we pray to the Lord to become a more loving human being,
that is one prayer that will be answered for sure. We learn from our failures; it is then
that we go in deep and pray for the ability to love as Jesus asks each of us to do.
To be a follower of Jesus is to over time become truly human and loving towards
even our enemies. It is grace from God, we cannot do this on our own. -Br. MD​

 

[Mark Dohle]

No there is only one Temple, the body of Christ, and we are that Tempel, the body of Christ.

Joh 2:19 "Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?” But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this."

1 Cor 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it."

We are living stones and pillars in the new Tempel of God.

The spirit of God dwells in us, the new Tempel of God (the body of Christ)

Each human being is made in the image and likeness of God. Jesus said that whatever you do to the least, in your case it would be those who do not believe, is to do it to me. God's love is immanent and transcendent.
