Make Me More Like You

“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.  They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.  Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.  That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.  You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;  to be made new in the attitude of your minds;  and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”  -Ephesians 4:17-24

I don’t have much to say about these verses.  It was just refreshing to read through them and be reminded of the new creation I have been made into because of Christ.  But also be reminded to constantly surrender myself to Him so that I can continue to be made new.

Dear Lord,

Thank You for making me new in You.  Help me to continue to surrender myself to Your will so that every day I can become more like You.

Amen
