Those Joined to the Lord Are One Spirit with Him

1 Corinthians 6: 16-17 "And don't you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one." (Genesis 2:24) But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him." NLT

      Lord, Your design for us is so awesome!  I am joined in Spirit with You! Unimaginable!  You, the Creator of all that is, Holy God Almighty, Judge, Ruler, King of Kings and Lord of Lords chooses to be united with me, a lowly creature You created, and died to save me from my miserable destiny and future!
      Since my salvation that day, when I understood for the first time that Your Spirit now abides in me and that when two or more are gathered You are in the midst, You revolutionized my thinking.  I would remind my children of that often, especially when they were going to be alone in the house in their dating years, and You have led me to share that with countless young college students.
      Lord, if only THIS message could be spread abroad in our culture where multiple sex partners is seen as no big deal anymore.  I know from prior experience, before marriage and salvation, the truth of the devastation it can cause to a person, and sadly it still happens even within the folks in our churches.
      There is an awesome accountability that occurs when we "Family" members actually take this to heart and believe it...when we SEE You in our daily walk...not just know it in the back of our minds somewhere.  Do I still forget sometimes?  Lord, You know I do and Your Spirit convicts me of that.  I certainly am not perfect and will not be until You take me to be with You.  This earth is not heaven yet.  How I long for Your return for Your church, Lord.  I know it is ONLY because of Your lovingkindness for the unsaved that You tarry.  You do not delight in our struggles, trials, and persecutions...It was not what You had created us to be in the beginning.
