Conformed to the image. [ Romans 8 v29 ]

In the book of Revelation 3v8, the risen Lord Jesus speaks to the church at Philadelphia the following,I know thy works.J B. Ramsey these words as referring to their character,their motives, and the lives.When we thing of people we often speak as to Character,we say he is a shady character,Judas who betrayed Jesus was a thief,we may say ,so and so is a weak character.
  If Jesus was to speak about you or I what would He say, as to our character ?.What is He looking for?,and what should we be aiming at?,a holiness of life,a life that is different,and separate, what do you think that means for you?,seperated from ungodliness,and unto righteousness,that's a challenge,for all of us. To reflect to some degree a likeness of Christ ,a life of love,kindness,a life of hope,not despair,a life of service.
    One day a little lad spoke to a missionary and said, are you Jesus?,now of course he made it clear that he wasn't. We read in Romans 8 v29,/for whom he did foreknow,he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image  of his Son./ The little chorus goes,/Be like Jesus this my song in the home and in the throng,be like Jesus all day long I would be like Jesus/
                                            A  prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father,help us to be conformed to the image of Your dear son Jesus Amen.
