THE LIVING TABERNACLE OF GOD
Yes we called as the living tabernacle or the living temple of God.So we should be holy and pure since we are a temple.
I had some thought in my mind that, if a person is a temple ,then what significant characteristics can find in him from others.
We know a temple is a place where its doors are all ways open for any one, that all can depend on it or can enter in it.Here the living temple of God should be open to all ,at any time ,irrespective of their personal qualities ,behaviour ,attitudes and habits and all can take refuge in him in their time of miseries and ambiguous life situations.He should open the doors of his heart and the windows of understanding for welcome others.
Again in the church or in the temple we feel the real presence of the Mighty God.This gives us new strength,multiplies the zeal to live, and enabling us to stand in the valley of troubles.So a person of God should be a man of encouragement and,a man of support.Who ever comes him will feel the presence of God in him.He should radiate the rays of encouragement and light of hope flows from the God to the people.So the living tabernacle of God should be a life building man,should be constructive ,not a destructive man.
Then in temple ,people pour out their heart to the Lord, because they know that ,theLord is listening them.So it is a place of listening.They feel relieved after sharing everything to God and later they can be happy and peacefull in their lives.If a man is a living temple of God ,he should be a good listener and besides he should keep secrets as secrets all ways, because we share every thing to God ,that we know ,God do not reveal any thing to any one.Yes we can trust him.So living tabernacle of God should be a good listener and trust worthy.
A temple is a place for worship,a place for prayer, a place for thanks giving and a place for repentance.Being the living temple of God, every one should be a man of prayer.Worship the lord with the entire heart with the maximum strength and
offer the Lord millions of bouquets of thanks giving.The living tabernacle of God should wash ,the alter of his heart with the tears which fall down from the ,clear eyes of true repentance.
The temple is a place ,where daily offering and sacrifices perform for the Good of people and, people recieves graces and blessing through the sacrifices.So a living temple of God should allow to take place sacrifices in his daily life as daily offerings of God for the good of others.This clearly tells us that the man of God should not grind his teeth, when he faces miseries of life, rather accept all the miseries as the offerings for God.
Again in the temple we see the exposed Jesus ,the real living God.Wecan see him there in the form of holy ghost and
we can experince his warmth of love and so a man of God should expose Jesus in all his daily activites and should spread and radiate the warmth of Jesus's love to others.His deeds should communicate that he is a true christian and he should live only to give glory to God the father.
Dear mamma mary. I dont know how can I practise what I have just written here.Please teach me to become a true living tabernacle of God.Hold my hand as u held the hand of Jesus.amen ur jeril
