Be Inspired = Inspire Others
Jesus isn't really in the business of giving people what they want. He gives people, you and I, what we need. Jesus' earthly ministry was spent dwelling with the people, teaching, comforting, and convicting.
The Holy Spirit dwells within us, teaching, comforting, and convicting. The preferred New Testament word for this is oikeo, which means "live or dwell."
Oikeo descends from the Greek noun oikos, which means "house." Just as people dwell in houses, so the Holy Spirit dwells in us.
--paraphrased from "Come Thirsty" by Max Lucado
As you go through your day remember, You are a temple for the Holy Spirit and God is present within you. Your actions and expressions determine what the Spirit's home will be like. So smile, it makes the temple so much more glorious and suitable for the Lord of lords!
