How do we become more like Christ? The question has been on my mind for a long time and I really have not understood the answer, but God has been lovingly showing me His character. I know that I am no where near perfect, but I do know that all I need to do to get the comfort and understanding that no one on earth could ever give me is to ask. All I need to do to be able to love others is ask. Instead of being so afraid, just ask for the peace of Jesus. Ask to be like Him:) He will do that in your life. In my mind, I was afraid this morning, and then I asked God for those things I need: Peace, Love, Joy, Happiness, Kindness. The fruits of the Spirit. We cannot get them by an act, we need to accept that they are a gift from the Father, Son, and Spirit. In your life, you cannot attain them, because you are imperfect, but... ask God to give them to you. When you fail, don't be discouraged, Jesus still holds out His loving hands to you and wants you to know that He cares and accepts you.:
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we areyet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-17
