It’s so interesting how we are so persuaded as humans by what we  see. We look at someone with something we don’t have and then think we should have it. We then go out of our way to spend money to get it only then realizing how unsatisfied we are. We’re all guilty of this. If you have an iPhone, a new car, new clothes or anything you didn’t have before you most likely saw someone else with it first and it looked good to you. Commercials, tv shows, movies, friends, co-workers, celebrities all have this kind of influence on us. We see them behave a certain way so we behave that way too. They talk a certain way and we try talking like that too. We are so easily gullible to buy what we think will improve our lives and it just leaves us wanting more.

What if we were like that with God? No I mean, really, imitate God. He heals the sick, casts out demons, Jesus spent time with him. What if we all imitated Jesus and actually lived the way he set as an example for us. What kind of different people we’d be. He never spoke without it coming from the Father. He was always in tune with God. I don’t know about you but I would rather follow Jesus’ example than any celebrity. No one can fill my soul or satisfy me the way Jesus can. No more monkey see, monkey do. Let there be more of your will,  not my will be done.

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Ephesians 5:1-2
