It is certainly not the question, nor is it the most important question, but it resides close to the top of the list…
Is what I am…
doing…
thinking about…
listening to…
reading…
writing…
saying…making me more like Jesus, or just more like me in opposition to Him?
Just thinking out loud.
Sadly, and too often, I’m making me more like me.
Speaking from the Scriptures (hopefully), we all need to look into the mirror of our souls, the “perfect law of liberty” and continue in it (James 1:25), that it guide us in knowing who we are in Christ.
I say that I am hopefully speaking from the Scriptures, it is because of necessity I speak to my own hurt. I lay not claim to ‘having arrived.’ It is a thing I do not do often enough myself. Who will free me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
