A while back, I heard about a show on TV called, “The Next Best Thing”. The object of this reality show is to be the best impersonator of a celebrity, all to win the grand prize of $100,000! It got me to thinking about how people these days study celebrities by learning to walk, talk, dress and sing like them. The list could go on and on. A lot of the contestants on this show actually make a living by imitating these famous celebrities. But, they are not imitating the right person!
I want to make it my goal in life to be an imitator of Jesus Christ. I want to walk, talk, dress, sing, and do everything that I can to be like Jesus. I want to win the grand prize of life eternal with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The best part about it is there is more than one grand prize winner! No matter where you come from or what you have done, Jesus is ready and waiting with open arms for each one that will believe on Him.
I have one deep, supreme desire,
that I may be like Jesus.
To this I fervently aspire,
that I may be like Jesus.
I want my heart His throne to be,
so that a watching world may see
His likeness shining forth in me.
I want to be like Jesus
I encourage you to make that your goal in life too! All you need to do is ask for forgiveness of your sins and learn to be an imitator of Christ! It’s not always the easiest thing to do but, in the end, it will all be worth it!
I LOVE it!!! This is so true! This is so encouraging! People are so focused on how to fit in with the world, they don’t care how they fit in with Christ! It may seem easier sometimes to imitate the world rather than God, but Gods reward is so much better.
