I am thankful for all the support and prayer from friends, family, my church family and others since Richard has been diagnosed with cancer again! I do so appreciate it!!
The other day I was reading in Genesis 5 and this verse stuck with me:
Genesis 5:3 (NIV)
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
I could just see Seth following his dad around, looking just like him, copying everything he had done. This son was in his own likeness and probably imitated everything that Adam did. He not only looked like him he wanted to be just like him. He probably moved just like him! He probably followed him around and listened to every word.
That is what a christian should do. I should want to be just like the heavenly Father As a christian I should be trying to imitate my Father in heaven. I should be following His every lead, His every move and I should be listening every word. I should want to look just like Him! He is the only one that I should be imitating!
I am so thankful to my God that sent His Son that I might have eternal life. I am so thankful that Jesus was willing to do this for me. I am so thankful that I have a Savior to imitate!
Who do you imitate??
1 Corinthians 4:1 (NIV)
Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV)
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
