Endeavor to be like Him, and conform ourselves, as much as may be, to Him!

Then does a good man become the tabernacle of God, wherein the divine Shechinah does rest, and which the divine glory fills, when the frame of his mind and life is wholly according to that idea and pattern which he receives from the mount. We best glorify Him when we grow most like to Him: and we then act most for His glory, when a true spirit of sanctity, justice, and meekness, runs through all our actions; when we so live in the world as becomes those that converse with the great Mind and Wisdom of the whole world, with that Almighty Spirit that made, supports, and governs all things, with that Being from whence all good flows, and in which there is no spot, stain, or shadow of evil; and so being captivated and overcome by the sense of the Divine loveliness and goodness, endeavor to be like Him, and conform ourselves, as much as may be, to Him.

—Dr. John Smith

Endeavor to be like Him, and conform ourselves, as much as may be, to Him! Amen! This is what I am always saying each day. We are called to be like Jesus, to follow, reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Last week I shared a nice writing from Cardinal Newman about how we need to radiate Jesus! While it is hard, we face challenges, people and this world test us, but we are called to be like Jesus! He is the example, the gift God gave us for us to follow! Will you endeavor to be like Him, and conform ourselves, as much as may be, to Him!
