Simplicity Cont'd........

Simplicity cont'd...

"Christianity, in its purest form, is nothing more than seeing Christ,
and knowing Him. Christian service, in its purest form, is nothing
more than imitating Him whom we see and know. To see Him and to know
Him and to imitate Him: that is the sum of christianity."

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly beloved children." Ephesians 5:1

Interesting thought in light of all of the kids I've been watched over
the years but especially of late: just as children imitate their
parents (and other grownups unfortunately at times ), so we ought to
imitate our Heavenly Father--and God is love: true, sacrificial, deep,
selfless love originates in and emanates from Him through us for the
benefit of others as well as ourselves (see 1 John 4 for more on
that).

So here's another thought--who've you been imitating lately?

You've been prayed for today.
