Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. (Read Chapter)
 | | Copy-Cat LOL | Our daughter Savannah is now in middle school. As she grows and becomes more involved in life. I notice three things. 1. Things that she mimics of me that are good, 2. Things she mimics of me that are bad, and 3. Things that she doesn’t mimic of me at all.
I’m simply overjoyed when I see Savannah mimicking a quality that I see within myself (I’m sure there some major pride in that statement, yet I’m sure y'all know what I mean). I’m embarrassed when she mimics my bad qualities though too (especially when you don’t think a child would pick up on something like that LOL)… I’m saddened when she doesn’t pick up on certain qualities that I would desire her to possess.
As we look to be more like Jesus, I’m sure we all imitate Christ, in a lot of areas, and we have nothing to worry about in imitating Christ in bad areas only because Christ was absolutely perfection and no darkness in Him. Yet, there are those areas that we’re not being imitators of Christ at all.
Be sure to pray this week that the Holy Spirit enables you to mimic the Christ like qualities that will not only enhance the quality of life for ourselves, but more importantly enriching the quality of life for those around us, and we'll experience more people wanting to spend more time with us like spending time in a garden, because our lives are emitting that sweet smelling aroma of Jesus Christ!
1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (Read Chapter) |
