Heavenly Father, I come before You wanting to be like Your Son Jesus Christ. Refine my character into the character of Christ so that I may trust in the plans You have for me rather than relying on my own plans. Let me be a recipient of Your courage and strength.
Lord, make me emphatically sensitive to others who endure difficulties so that I can be like Christ to them. May my faith have the ring of reality, the authenticity of truth lived out in the real world. As I walk through this day, may I be able to radiate the true joy of Christ, which is so much more than simply being happy.
In this moment, I have been disquieted by Christ’s exhortation that I am to be perfect as You are perfect. How can that be? Then I realize that the word perfect in the New Testament, means “complete, mature, accomplishing our purpose.” I want You to help me to be prepared for this kind of perfection. I realize I will be fully complete only when I reach heaven, but Lord, may Your miracle of true maturity continue today in Jesus Name amen.
Pst Sarah K. Zango
Amen!
Amen.
