Kids are very good at imitating what they see from us as parents, and what they see/hear around them. Sometimes this fills you with much pride and you catch yourself thinking, "wow, that's my boy!"
However, there are times when we see/hear things that make us cringe and we wonder where they got that behaviour from. In truth, they probably saw something similar in us or from their peers. When this happens we are left thinking, "Whose child is this!?"
The Apostle Paul reminds us that we are 'imitators' of someone or something. It is just up to us to choose to imitate Jesus. When we make this choose we will start to 'live a life filled with love'.
So who are you imitating today?
Ephesians 5:1-2 (Living Bible)
Follow God’s example in everything you do just as a much loved child imitates his father. 2 Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, for Christ’s love for you was like sweet perfume to him.
Living in Grace
