Imitators

Paul's testimony: "Become an imitator of me and of the Lord." Are you living a life others can imitate? Are you living a life where tribulation deepens your joy, not undermines it? Are you living a life of kindness, forgiving others as Christ forgave you? Are you content? Does having a little or a lot have absolutely no affect on the humbling realization that you are totally dependent on Him? Are you thankful that that is so? Are you not just a proclaimer of God's truth but also a demonstrator of God's truth?
May God's Spirit so control us that we can become examples.
