The Best Way to Be Like Jesus

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.” Romans 13:14

I want to make a conscious effort to put on the Lord Jesus Christ today and everyday so that I will have no room for the flesh because there are certain things that have a tendency to draw me away, like greed, anger, envy and most of all, selfishness if I allow them to. In my desire to grow more like Jesus I simply must make that effort to set my self aside and in so doing I pray daily that I will see others and their needs through His eyes of love. Will you put on the Lord Jesus Christ today? It’s the best way I know of to be like Him.

I’m not drawn to carousing, drunkenness or sensuality but I am capable of being quite selfish with my time and my space. Sunday morning in the prayer class we were talking about this very thing and I realized that Jesus was all about sacrifice for the sake of others when He walked this earth; He never once refused an opportunity to minister because He might have been inconvenienced.
