The Temple

The Temple

This is a picture of the Ghana Accra Temple. It was the closest temple to where I served my mission. I was able to go there twice during my stay at the MTC. What an incredible building it is! We got a chance to go out and proselyte around Tema Ghana while at the MTC and we would talk to people and ask them if they knew the church. They would usually say that they knew of the church because of the beautiful building they would see on their way to Accra. The temple in Accra Ghana is beautiful, pure, clean, bright, and glorious. Everyone that sees the temple loves it. It is lit up in the night so as to show the light of the gospel amidst the darkness of the world. 

What a wonderful thing temples are. I'm sure that most of us have heard the phrase "Your body is a temple." I know I have. Think about that phrase. How awesome is that?! Our bodies are also created to be beautiful, pure, clean, bright, and glorious. God is perfect. We His children are His greatest creations. As I have gone through this anatomy class I have been astounded as to how incredible our bodies are. It is so amazing that we function like we do. God created us perfectly, from our sternocleidomastoid to our gastrocnemius. It is no coincidence that we have the organs and muscles that we have. Our bodies are amazing! We should always strive to treat them like a temple. Like that beautiful edifice that attracts others to it. Whether it is our body of the temple it is not just the beauty of the outside that is important but what goes on in the inside.
