"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
How often I live in the shadow of "cheap grace". Because redemption is free to me, I live like it was free to Him who redeemed me. Instead of living like one who was "bought for a price", I live like I am His only by way of some cheap scam where you buy one and get a hundred...for free.
Oh, that I would remember daily to honor Him with all I do...the simple and mundane, like homeschooling, cleaning, cooking, paying bills. May I also honor Him with the Holy, like in prayer, repentance, worship and grace.
Just reading over those words reminds me, not only that I was bought for the ultimate price, but that He willing paid it. Oh, that I would think of my GOD with the reverence that such great sacrifice deserves.
In a "me" world, I would be well served to remind myself how valuable I am...not in my own or others eyes, but instead, in the eyes of the Lord.

How true that is. I tend to take it for granted as well. In my role as a SAHM that homeschools 5 children, it's easy to get overwhelmed and feel a bit sorry for myself at times. Oh, that I would be thankful for the abundance He has given me or entrusted to me.
I'm thankful that He chose me and saved me. Hallelujah!
