Being Love

Good Morning, Lord!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for your love this morning that pours out like rivers. Pooling and gathering as it moves. Being fed from a source far above—a pure place with no taint, no pollutants and no bias. Thank you for love.

Thank you for demonstrating that great love by sending your Son—to tent with us. To tarry with us. To dwell with us. Because he did this love was and is not a theory. Not an idea or even an ideal. But it is a person. And we can love people. We can only be enamored by an idea.

We can love a person.

I watch Jesus, Father, and I want to act just like him. More than that: I want to think just like him because if I do my thoughts will eventually become my actions.

I watch Jesus doing love. Being love.

Reaching out to the leper. Pushing back those who judged and condemned. Raising hope. Resurrecting life.

Father, make me like him. Conform me. Transform me. To look like Jesus.

Reset my thinking. Change my mindset. Change the patterns and traditions of my ways. I am asking today. Whatever it takes today that I might resemble your Son more.  Please, please implement it. Please put it in motion. Your people need more Jesus.

This day let me more of him.

Amen
