We Must Be Christlike

What a Glorious thought brought forth through Gods Word this morning.. 1 Chron.16:24″God awoke you and me this morning for one purpose:”Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples”. I have to honestly say .. That I can see Gods glory just in the words my wife speaks the minute she gets up in the morning.. It’s always, and I mean always gives glory to The Lord first.. Then it is always a prayer of concern for others.. While I’m preparing for my day to start praying.. My wife is praying before preparing for the day to start.. Wow!! Teach me Lord.. To be like Christ, we must imitate Christ!!! My wife is a prayer warrior hands down.. She imitates Christ by doing what he did… She prays.. Just like Jesus chose to pray for us.. John 17:20-21″I pray for these men. But I am also praying for all people who believe in me because of the teaching of these men.. Father, I pray that all people who believe in me can be one.. I pray that these people can also be one in us, so that the world will believe you sent me”. When everyone rejects you.. Christ accepts you.. When everyone else leaves you, Christ finds you, when no one wants you, Christ claims you.. When no one else will give you the time of day.. Jesus will give you the time of eternity..God has no cousins.. Only children.. Everyone on earth was created in his likeness.. What we see as a dirt bag on the street, God see’s them as children beautifully and wonderfully made… It don’t matter to him if you are fat or skinny.. What makes us special is not our body.. But the signature of God on our lives .. You don’t have to look far to know how valuable u are to The Lord.. You only have to measure the distance between the two nailed hands to know.. We have the Christ of the Universe people!! That loves us!! He is the Commander in Chief!! He knows your name, and he has walked your streets, and felt your pains .. I stand in awe at times at the end of the day when I walk through my house, how God can use a good for nothing ex- drug addict convict like me, to entrust a dumb, dumb like me with the task of loving and leading such a treasure as my wife.. She is smarter than me.. She deserves a man much better looking than me.. And yet she will swear from the bottom of her heart, that I’m the best thing that has happened in her life..But I have to learn daily not to take this miracle of a woman God gave me for granted.. She prays for me.. Wow!! And I have the privilege and the honor to actually sit down and to be able to crack a Bible open that contains the words of the One who created me.. Every day I am given the luxury and opportunity to let God give me a thought or two on how to live.. And even if I stumble, or disagree with what he says, or don’t understand what he says, he don’t call me a dummy, or send a lightning bolt through my chair to split me in half.. Lol.. Because I’m his son.. I’m one of his children.. And he loves me.. And prays for me.. Man I’m feeling grateful this morning .. How about you? Love God today more than you fear hell.. Pray twice as much as you complain.. Listen more than you speak, don’t spend tomorrow’s money today.. Succeed at home first.. Keep your testimony clean, when no one is watching, live as if someone is.. God has forgiven you..it would be wise to do the same.. Bam!! That is all!!
