Do you find it true that, with every year that passes, you look more and more like your biological parents?  So…are you looking more and more like your Father…your heavenly Father, that is?  That’s what He wants. From the time you were brought into His family through His Son, Jesus, God has wanted you to look, act, and sound just like Him.  Is that your objective?  Let’s make it so.

 

Psalm 34:3

Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.

 

1 Peter 1:14-16

14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”

 

“The proper understanding of everything in life begins with God.  No one will ever understand the necessity of conversion who does not know why God created us.  He created us “in His image” so that we would image forth His glory in the world.  We were made to be prisms refracting the light of God’s glory into all of life.  Why God should want to give us a share in shining with His glory is a great mystery.  Call it grace or mercy or love- it is an unspeakable wonder.  Once we were not.  Then we existed- for the glory of God! ” ~ John Piper

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
