Good Morning! Be encouraged today, imitate God!
“Be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved you and gave Himself up for you, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” – Ephesians 5:1-2
FOR good or for bad, most people imitate others. The ones whom we are around, and whom we may imitate, can measurably affect us. The inspired writer of Proverbs 13:20 warned: “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.” With good reason, then, make an effort to be an imitator of God.
Morning Prayer: Gracious God, may my living today be a reflection of you. May I love as you love. May I continue to think about what this means as I live my life today. Help me to love my neighbors, whether they live in my own home or sit in the next cubicle. Teach me, Lord, to live so as to imitate your love every single day, not just where it might be expected, but also where it is unexpected. May your love in me know no bounds, for your glory in Jesus’ matchless name. Amen.
