Lord, help us to live more like Jesus would! You have given us eternal life! Make us indeed worthy of this exalted honor!

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

⏤ Ephesians 4:1

Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.

⏤ Martin Luther

Lord, help us to live more like Jesus would! You have given us eternal life! Make us indeed worthy of this exalted honor! Each day we are given a new chance to live more upright and holy. We are called to turn from sin, to live sinless lives like Jesus, to be more like Him! He is our model for living on this Earth School journey! Are you trying to follow Him? That is what we are called to do!

The Mornings with God App had a great message today that I wanted to share, they said, "O Jesus, You have called us with a holy calling. We desire to be worthy of the honor You have bestowed upon us. You have redeemed us by Your blood. You have taken us into fellowship with Yourself. You are not ashamed to call us brethren. You have made us heirs of God, joint heirs with You. You have given us eternal life! Make us indeed worthy of this exalted honor. Cleanse and purify us, that we may be like You in spirit, disposition, and character. Give us the same desires that are in Your heart, that we may hate what You hate and love what You love. May we be partakers in Your work for the upbuilding of Your cause and the extension of Your kingdom. Give us this day the same mind that was in You. You left Your heavenly glory and became human, that You might be our Redeemer. You lived to serve, giving out Your life in unsparing service, even dying in love for Your people. We desire to have the same spirit. Save us from all selfishness, which would lead us to withhold ourselves from serving others with the best that is in us. Save us from all pride, which would lead us to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think, and may we always be clothed with humility. Lead us into Your ways of service. Lord Jesus, help us to live this day as You would live if You were here in our place. May we be holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. May we be kind in all our family relationships and with those outside. Help us to be diligent in all our business. May we live unspotted from the world. Bless us in all ways in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/68/morning

It is not easy to do, but we are called to follow Jesus, to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! I liked this message today from the Mornings with God App, it is a great reminder for us to keep in mind. To try to always live like Jesus, to honor Him, to give Him all the glory by turning from sin, having great faith in Him and accepting His will be done, and imitating and loving like Him! Yes, may we live unspotted by this world! Live for Heaven, not for material, flesh, title, power, and things of this world! May we stop sinning and love like Jesus!
