"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." -Ephesians 5:1-2 (NASB)
My daughter likes to claim that she learned everything from me. While I'm willing to accept the credit for her good behaviors, I'm not so keen on accepting credit for the not so good behaviors! When we take a look at our lives, we want to be sure we are learning behaviors that are good, moral, and beneficial to ourselves and others. There's no better place to look than God!
God has given us different tools to learn about Him and about how we should act. God has given us His Word that tells us how to live Godly lives. He has also given us His Son. Jesus has shown us how to live and behave. God has also given us the Holy Spirit to help guide and direct our lives. When we follow God and imitate His behaviors, we become sweet-smelling imitators that attract more followers for His Kingdom and help everyone live better lives!
Be a sweet-smelling imitator of God and attract followers for His Kingdom!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving my life meaning and direction. Help me to follow Your ways so others will want to follow You too. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
