“Didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place?” (1 Corinthians 6:19 MSG)
Once upon a time, there were lots places and objects that were sacred: churches, altars, ceremonial vessels, holy days, etc. These things were set apart for the worship and service of God and, thus, worthy of reverence. These days, there is not much we consider sacred. We fail to recognize the mystery within us and around us.
Sacred things inspire awe and deep respect. We perceive the presence of something beyond logic. Sacred sense must be cultivated and nurtured. Go out into nature; look up at the night sky; listen to the quiet. Look down at your fingers and toes; listen to your heart beat; feel your breath. Realize that you are sacred, and the ground you stand on is also holy. You are cherished, precious in the eyes of the Lord. You have been set apart for worship and service of God.
