Beloved–
Most parents have a set of values that they want their children to emulate; some parents are into sports for their children, others are into the arts or good grades. And so it is with our heavenly father who is into PERFECTION for his children. Our heavenly father created us in his image, so that we would think, look and act like him. We were created one-by-one with a specific plan for each one of us; God is the one who “wired” us the way we are for his purposes and that we will give him the glory! Psm 139:1;16 O LORD… you know everything about me;…Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Many of us cringe at the idea that we are not our own person with our own original ideas; but our father, like any good parent gently but firmly (mostly; some of us need a 2×4) encourages us to follow his plan. Most children resemble one parent more than the other if not in looks frequently in actions or deeds. Despite appearances, no two human beings are exactly the same in all aspects; but every child of God can work at emulating the heavenly father. We don’t even have to do it all by-our-self or in our own strength; we are never alone (Acts 2:25-26) and the better we get to know our heavenly parent (2Pet 1:2-8) the easier it becomes to joyfully follow his plan for us.
My daily prayer for you is that you pray to your loving heavenly father to help you to get to know him better and better every day.
Luv Ya!
