"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.
