How Beautiful are the Feet of them that Preach the Gospel of Peace...
Every Christian should have an unction to spread the Gospel. If this unction is missing in a Christian, then something is wrong.
God's purpose is to reconcile humanity to Himself after the separation caused by the first sin. To further this purpose, God in the guise of sinful flesh died to atone for the sins of humanity. He did not end there he bestowed on those who repented and acknowledged his sacrificial atonement with gifts and power to bring others under His canopy of salvation.
The Lord describes as beautiful the feet these fruitful branches of the True Vine. Sadly, there are not as many beautiful feet out there as there should be. So many Christians today engage in preaching messages that do not focus on the True Gospel. They merely tell people what they want to hear without the message of the Salvation that is in Jesus Christ.
This is a sad contradiction of God's purpose. Christians should look at the early evangelists and emulate their methods of delivering an undiluted message of repentance and shunning the consequences. Only then would the Lord declare the feet of such beautiful...

In Heavenly Places
Our bodies are the Temple of God which He built when by His grace we were purchased from death into life through the Salvation in Jesus Christ. At the Altar of this Temple, we are called upon to make ourselves a living sacrifice and we get to the pinnacle when we sit with Jesus in Heavenly Places - the place of ultimate power. From this vantage height of power, we are to exploit the gifts so generously bestowed on us to work with and for our Lord to fulfil His desire and goal of His love that none should perish but have everlasting life. It is in pursuit of this goal that we become fruitful branches of the True Vine - Jesus Christ.

The Unlimited Love of God
It is difficult to describe the Love of God with words alone. The Lord purchased us to Salvation and everlasting life with a price that cannot be humanly quantified. He purchased us to life from death in torment with His own priceless and perfect life. He did this for our sole benefit to save us from death that we ourselves waltzed into. He put no price on our Salvation. Despite this astounding show of affection from the Lord, a lot of us rebuff Him or for some reason do not react to His Love. He stands knocking. Let us open up.

Presenting the Lord in us.
I was fellowshipping with the Lord Jesus through prayer and signified a yearning for closer physical proximity to the Lord and to my surprise, I received a mild reprimand from the Lord. He made it clear that I already possessed more than what I was asking for. I was seeking a touch from the Lord when He dwells in me and can always be found within me. Many of us Christians make this same mistake and search for the Lord Jesus afar off when he is within us. Look inwards, He is there.
