The body is said to be the tabernacle of God. In fact the world itself is the body of God. A pinprick on the toe is immediately recognised as an injury to the self, because the toe is part of the self-same body. So too, suffering in one corner of the world is as much the concern of the Lord, as suffering in any other. The whole world is a mansion of the Lord. All countries and states are mere rooms in His mansion. Never forget that the whole world is a temple of the Lord; it is His body and He resides in it!
