I’m praying that you and I become imitators of Christ, demonstrating His love and character like never before. May we increase in wisdom with applying God’s Word in practical ways. Our world needs so much direction, encouragement and focus we can become distracted by a variety of rabbit trails, leading to trouble, anger, and argument. Imitating Christ brings peace, hope, faith, and love
“Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, it may be, they can badger him into taking action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds him.” - John R.W. Stott, Basic Christianity
Colossians 3:16
[16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
