God purposed us to be here right now; it's not a mistake we're living in a troubled world in a troubled time. He wants us here and planted us here because He has the infinite knowledge we so lack and the wisdom we can't understand, the knowledge and wisdom with a plan. If we present our bodies as a sacrifice to His will, plans, and purposes, then we can watch the incredible work that He does--always glorifying His name.
He wants our mind, body, and will, then He'll use us as an instrument of righteousness. We have no right, and the body is the physical manifestation of worship and and faith to Him. It belongs to Him (He paid for it, after all), and we are the temple of His Spirit--our body isn't us, it's simply a container.
I will re-read this every morning for the next week in order to remind myself of the place I am with God, and as a way to keep my heart and mind in check when praying to be filled with the Spirit.
