Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 NLT
Subconsciously we mimic others’ words, phrases, and mannerisms. When we do, it compliments them because it shows that we were being attentive. Mimic and be attentive to Christ. Get into His word daily.
Thanks to my daughter, Holly, for these words of wisdom and insight.
You are God’s dear children, so try to be like him. Live a life of love. Love others just as Christ loved us. He gave himself for us—a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 ERV
You are a child of God. Always remember who you are and Whose you are. The Ultimate Parent loves you.
Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Ephesians 5:1 MSG
Make sure you love extravagantly. Love without conditions attached. Love because He loves and is Love.
