091323 Imitating Christ
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
Sympathize with each other... Not everything is about me.
Love each other as brothers and sisters... Siblings have to get along. They quickly learn how to not be so touchy & get over offenses before they all get into trouble.
Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude... That is caring & sensitive; read the room, and do not be a know-it-all.
...be of one mind... This is how we should be relating to one another–with Christ, not our own separate agendas, in common. It is HIS character we imitate = sympathy, love, tenderheartedness & humility in order for unity to thrive.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Very simply, help me be sympathetic, loving, tenderhearted & humble today. I don’t need to be feisty, bull-headed, or nosey. Those things will not achieve your character I desire. Help me be like you & think like you & I pray in your name, amen.
