Imitate

God has really been using Kalena to teach me some lessons. She loves to imitate us. From walking in our shoes, to pretending to put contacts in her eyes, she imitates everything we do.

Recently I have been meditating on the text of Ephesians 5 where it says “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children.” We need to be imitating God in our every action. In what areas do we need to imitate God? We get the answer from Ephesians 5 as well.

“And live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a  fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a  hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these  are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or  coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can  be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person–such a man is an idolater–has  any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with  empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are  disobedient.

God, help me to imitate you in every area of my life.
