M,
You are the temple, both individually and collectively. You are My home on this earth. I live within you. So how do you treat My home? How do you make Me feel welcome in it? You defile it in every way you can. You pollute it. You neglect it.
There is a tendency to get pedantic about this, to consider first the food and drink that you consume and the effects it has on your body. Well bodies are simply the shells that house you. And though you should care for them, they are not my primary concern when talking about My temple on this plane. No, it is the soul that is most important. We commune spirit to spirit not body to body. So it is the damage that befalls your soul that concerns Me. How is it that you know how to take care of your bodies, these cases of flesh, but you still have no inclination of what your soul needs?
Think about the other people that make up this temple. Think about how you treat them, interact with them, connect with them, communicate with them. Do you forget who they are in heated moments? Do you treat them as less than My children? Do you forget that I am their Father just as I am yours? Do you consider their body before their soul?
When you let hate, anger, fear, despair, envy, pride, and all these other things that are the antithesis of the divine govern over your heart, you push Me out. You make them lord over you and all that concerns you. You make them high priest in your temple. There is no space in there for me and for them. But if you continue to give them power, if you continue to be led by them and make decisions according to their directions, there will be no room for Me at all. With those actions you are idolising them, whether you realise it or not. You are giving them more power and glory than they deserve.
You need love. I am love. What you need, what you’ve always needed, is Me.
