And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.” ~ ACTS: 26:29
Food for thought:
Do you want others to become as you are? If not, why not? And how can you take a step toward this end?
I would not be happy if others became as I am. I know my own sins all too well to want others to become like me. There are parts of me that I think are capable of brightening the world a great deal, but as a complete package, I am one sorry mess of a person.
Still, I have inside me a light that shines, and that is enough of a start to give me hope that I can kindle that flame and make it so bright that the world can't help but see it - and come to love the Lord as much as I do and even more.
To make it to that end, I will endeavor to pray always - to make my life a living prayer, an offering to the Lord. I will also endeavor to surround myself with people who will inspire me in my faith, encourage me along my journey, and who will be an example to me of how to be the kind of light I want to be for others.
Lord Jesus, please help me to become the child of Christ that You made me to be. Amen.
