Becoming like Christ

"I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become"*

How important it is to "take every thought captive" (2 Cor. 10:5) especially since it forms who you are as a person.  If we are to be known as Christ's disciples then should we not dwell upon Him?  If we are to become like Him should we not learn from Him by way of the word?  Should we not meditate on His words day and night, if our desire is to become like Him? If anyone wishes to become something great he must give his entire self to the goal.  If we are to be Christians then we ought to give our whole lives to dwelling upon the things of God.

"We Love You Jesus" Shane and Shane



May we ever praise the Lord whether it is the popular thing to do (in season), the unpopular thing to do (out of season), when we have a spiritual victory and feel near to the Lord (on top of mountains), and even, when we are as low as we can get and the Lord seems far away (in valleys).  
Let us "greatly rejoice in the Lord and [let our] heart[s] be joyful in our God" ~Is. 61:10
