JOHN 13:34-35
We do not have to try to look like our parents. Whether it is our mother’s hips or our father’s eyes, we inherit many of their physical features automatically. But how closely do we resemble our Heavenly Father? When people look at us do they recognize us as His children?
The Bible says there is one thing that identifies us as followers of Christ and children of God – our love.
People will identify us as Christians if our lives reflect our Father’s love. What does this love look like? It is resting in God’s peace during times of stress. It is forgiving our enemies and praying for them rather than seeking revenge or harbouring anger. It is being kind and patient with others even when they are not. It is putting the needs of others before our own.
Who do we really look like?
