Oh to Wake Up and Look Like THAT!

“We live in an informational era where often those with acquired knowledge and lots of degrees can be placed on pedestals and acclaimed simply for their knowledge. Can you imagine if Einstein or Edison never took their knowledge and moved forward with it how our lives could have been affected? The disciples had FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE of Jesus and His representation of Father God's plan for mankind. Had they been unwilling to LOVE others enough to go and share, again, perhaps our lives might be different. The point: yes, have your quiet time each day. Yes, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you from God's Word - it is your best weapon to destroy the lies you will hear from the enemy this day. Yes, read other books for additional knowledge and understanding. Then take that digested material and get it out. Memorize your current, favorite passage and find ways to share that with others. Perhaps make a healthy dessert to share at your Valentine's party and tell everyone that you want to invest in their health future or find a passage of scripture each night for a week to share with a friend as a means of encouragement. You know where they are struggling and you know God's Word has hope. Get it out and demonstrate God's love in unique ways.” Pastor Kathy Hill. (http://kathyshcgfamily.blogspot.com/)

To put this into practice...Yesterday I was reading Psalm 17:15 "I will be satisfied when I awaken to Your likeness". This caused me to pause and reflect. There are so many areas in my life I desire to WAKE UP, but my prayer is truly that they would come alive or awakened and be the exact representation of HIS likeness. My prayer is, "Father, when I awake in the morning cause me to awake to/in/for Your likeness not mine. The areas in my life that are already awakened but do not look like You, transform them to Your likeness. The areas that are waking up within me, may they be exactly like You!"
