A. W. Tozer wrote that "there is the sweet theology of the heart which can be learned only in the school of renunciation." Are we willing to die to ourselves and this world and all that it has to offer?
In 1 Corinthians 6:19, Paul shares that the Christian's body is God's temple. Does God the Holy Spirit feel comfortable indwelling in us? Or, have we made Him uncomfortable and not safe due to what we do with our lives and what we fill our lives with?
May we choose to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our spiritual duty (Romans 12:1-2).
