Make Us More Like Jesus! Stamp Jesus Upon Us Dear Lord!

 

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 

⏤ Luke 6:27-28 

Anything that makes us pray is a blessing! 

⏤ Charles Spurgeon

We were given an example from God in Jesus. All we need to do is follow His ways. His teachings, His love. Yet, even priests and so called leaders and powers that be have this problem. We need to be like Jesus. Love all people. Remove hate and indifference. Even from those who are of clergy and say they are men of God, yet do not act like it. We need to pray for all people, even them, that we have conversion for all to be loving and more like Jesus! 

The Mornings with God App today said, "We ask You, our Father, to give us a true blessing this morning. May it enter into our lives and make them more like Jesus. May it become a fountain of the water of life in each heart of ours. May it make us hate sin more and love right and good more. May it leave the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ branded more indelibly upon us. May it stamp the image of Jesus more deeply and clearly upon us. We desire to carry Your blessing with us into all the day. May we love You more, and follow You better, and serve You more acceptably — because we have Your blessing upon us in the early morning. We ask You — as we must always ask You — to forgive us our sins, and cleanse and purify our hearts and lives. We are not worthy to receive any blessings at Your hands — but You are gracious and merciful, and we come to You sure of the blotting out of our sins, when we have truly confessed them and sincerely repented of them. Give us indeed the grace of repentance, that we may receive Your forgiveness and Your peace. We desire to leave our sins behind us and not to continue to repeat them. Help us to put them away. If we have unintentionally wronged any one — give us grace to undo the wrong, so far as we can. If we have taken anything from another wrongfully — give us grace to restore what we have taken. May our religion make us honest and truthful. May it make us just and righteous. Save us from an easy-going religion that makes no impact upon the life. May our religion go to the depths of our being, and may it cleanse us at the heart, and sanctify and transform all our life. May it lead us to noble service. We ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen."

I love the Mornings with God App and prayers. Some days they have some great messages. Today was a good one. We need to pray for others, to love all, and to ask God to help us to be more like Jesus. He is our example and model to live by, we need to try to emulate Him. We are all sinners, we need to ask for mercy and forgiveness, try not to sin, to love all, and never show hate or indifference, do not judge anyone. It is hard, because we see so much hypocrisy today, especially from the clergy and people of God, they like Jesus pointed out, the pharisees and priest are hypocrites, they too are the ones that had Jesus crucified. They need our prayers, there is a lot of hypocrisy today in the church and society. We just need to learn to love all and ask God to help us and make us more like Jesus!
