| Daily Inpiration: Imitators of God |
|
| |
“Therefore be imitators of God (copy Him and follow His example), as
well-beloved children (imitate their father). And walk in love…”
(Ephesians 5:1-2a AMP.)
When people look at you, do they see your family resemblance? Perhaps
in the natural, you have characteristics of your father or mother;
maybe you have their eyes, or mouth or mannerisms. But we should also
have the characteristics of our heavenly Father. We should display His
likeness. We should have His eyes, His mouth and His mannerisms, too.
We should study Him and imitate Him with the same awe that little
children do as they imitate their earthly fathers.
The Bible tells us that God is love. We are never more like God than
when we are walking in love—when we are being patient and kind; when
we are extending grace and mercy and forgiving others the way Christ
has forgiven us. When you imitate God, when you do things His way, you
get His results! And God’s ways always lead to life, freedom and
blessing. The more you imitate your heavenly Father by walking in
love, the more you will see Him moving in your life. He’ll open doors
for you that no man can close, and you’ll see His hand of blessing in
every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, I invite Your love to flow through me today. Show me
how I can be a blessing to others and follow Your ways. Let my life
please You so that I can be an example of Your awesome character. In
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
