would they see Jesus? would they see a scared little girl? would they see a super hero? i dont know. according to romans 12:1 our bodies are temples, but there are so many rooms. rooms that we show people and those we do not. rooms where things are hidden. rooms where we hide things from ourselves. what if we opened all the doors? its too scary. people would see the empty spaces, the broken rooms, the pain in the closets and drawers as well as the pretty rooms and decorative pieces. i think my temple is still being built. i think everyone's is. there are some sections we have roped off. do we really want to stay how we are? do people see me? maybe i dont let them. i hold people back at the doors and let them look in but not come in. have we done the same with Jesus? yes, Jesus look in my life, but i say i want to change it myself. i dont know about you but i cant change the rooms, unlock the doors, untie the knots. never can. never will.
