anyways, there is good in this because I am up so early, I can easily get my personal time with the Lord in and do everything I need to do and still am so ahead of myself ;)
still meditating on 1 Corinthians 6: 12-20...
Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”—but I will not be mastered by anything. “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 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.
I love the way the amazing person that puts the SCC books together gives us 2 different Bible versions right there in the book... today something struck me... in the New Living Translation it says: "for God bought you at a high price".....
ha, a high price.. made me think...
yesterday I met with my dear Ex husband and driving away from that meeting I was in awe at what He, my Saviour is doing... sitting there I am filled with the love of Christ for this man.. all is fine and we can talk like friends... this is a miracle, because the hurt was real, the betrayal was huge, the cuts so very deep... and yet, the healing has come and the love of Christ is there...
it is almost like I paid a high price, and I am aware of it, but Christ and His love wins...
so.... when I, even though I am Christ's and He is in me, sin against Him by behaving immorally, the hurt I inflict on my Saviour is real, the betrayal is huge, the cuts are deep... and yet, He loves me with that love that is immeasurable...
do I want to do that? the answer is NO..... he paid such a high price by His willingness to suffer for all the sins I have and will commit... do I want to knowingly add more to those????????
How could I even consider this? I am not considering this.... so there..
so no new revelation... but, He just used some different wording and a meeting to drive His point even deeper into my soul..... I just love Him!!!!
