To be like Jesus

From the distant past, His eternal love reached into the future. You see, He knew those who would be His one day, and He chose them beforehand to be conformed to the image of His Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn of a new family of believers, all brothers and sisters. -Romans 8:29a VOICE


Dear Lord,

It is your will that we become like Jesus.
Help us to cooperate with your Spirit.
Empower us to be kind, compassionate and loving.

When people show us hate, empower us to respond with love.
Teach us what it means to love those who disagree with us.
Enable us to walk the path of love that Jesus walked.

When life is difficult and obstacles are so hard to overcome,
Lift our heads Father that that we might see Jesus.
Take us by the hand dear Spirit and help us to sense you are here.

We ask Lord that our lives would mirror and embody Christ.
Move us with compassion that people might know that you care.
Create a holy boldness in us that we might tell others of you.

We love you Lord and want so much to be like you.

Amen
