Nourishment for Your Soul and Mind: May 2, 2024

I had my domestic violence hearing today and it was just hard. Things were said about me that I would NEVER do. It broke my heart to sit near a man I love so much and could see pure hate and anger towards me. Afterwards, I sat in tears. I reflected on the things said. Allegations that I could not possibly be hearing… am I hearing these right?! This isn’t me Poppa!

This evening, I reread today’s passage. When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, our bodies become a temple of the Holy Ghost. I take that very seriously. Whatever we do and whatever we say, the Holy Spirit resides within us. I am guilty of weight gain. I am guilty of words I should not speak at times of upset. All of these things God is helping me with, but I am not guilty of the things spewed at me in that courtroom. I kept feeling the need to defend myself, but God knows and the people who love me know my character.

This passage made me think long on the things I need to change, none of which I was accused of. Poppa, mold me and make me into the daughter You have designed me to be. Holy Spirit, help me to guard my mouth so that blessings come out. Help me with even the things I put into my body. Forgive me for any time I’ve grieved Your Spirit. More of you Lord and less of me. 🦅 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19
