Luke 19:45-47a; 1 Corinthians 3:16,17
Cleansing of the Temple
MY SOUL
was merchandise
................ripped
in several pieces
.....and
sold to anyone
................who
would pay.
My fragmented
life was passed
.....from
buyer to buyer
..............to
be used at their will
........and
discarded
..........................by
resale.
I could
never be my own owner.
Then
.......Jesus,
at my asking,
stormed
into my life and heart
.........and
scourged the evil there
......and
threw out those wicked powers
.....................who
bartered for my soul
and
sought to sell me
......................into
eternal miserable bondage.
He
cleansed this fleshly temple
..........and
bought all the pieces of my life
...with
His
...............and
made me whole
one
with Him
..................and
set His Holy Spirit in me
......daily
teaching me
......how
to be His holy temple.
