The building of God's holy spirit to dwell Is not found by the works of mans hand As the tower of Babel when confusion Was handed over to the depraved intentions Still in these days how many seek God In the beauty of buildings deception When God's true presence might be left outside For those which are seeking in pureness The true God will show up within you To destroy all that mankind has instilled With Jesus laying a new foundation The true carpenter who gives eternal blueprints No charge but freely given with love and joy That God's promised spirit might find dwelling To reveal the true place of worship The beauty not made by hands of mankind But through the Spirit and Truth Manifesting one into a new spiritual living being Surrounding one in the presence of God That the true beauty of God's creation Is within one before walking into a building Love and much prayers for any seeking true worship For everyone has access to same spirit Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” ’ 2 Samuel 7:5?-?7 NIV “However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: “ ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things?’ Acts 7:48?-?50 NIV For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 1 Corinthians 3:9?-?11?, ?16 NIV

God doesn't live in great edifices made of brick and cement. He lives in our own hearts ! How much of money we spend on building tall steeples and ornamental sanctum sanctorum. But He who examines every heart will know how sincere we are in our intentions. What we can do is keep our hearts pure and invite Him into our lives. Beautifulpoem dear Stephan.
