Imitators
Imitators
Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
Jesus, I want to be an imitator of you. I want to love fully and unconditionally. Help me, Lord.Don’t get me wrong. He loves me and cares for me in ways I cannot comprehend, but He is more concerned that I am more like Him today than I was yesterday. He is more concerned that I cling to Him as my only hope. He is more concerned that when I am not measuring up, I fall into His Holy presence. He is more concerned that despite rejection, I rely on His power to show up with kindness, patience and unconditional love. Loving people, genuinely and unconditionally, requires more of Him and less of me. It requires a process where I often do not measure up, but I am persevering in the faith because I do not want to miss a single lesson of His loving discipline due to doubt and discouragement.
