Morning Devotional:
A long-awaited moment finally arrived last night. The bathroom remodeling project in my home is finally complete!
My contractor and I took a moment to admire the new room yesterday evening and as we did, I complimented him on the amazing work he and his crew had done. His crew includes his son, who did a large chunk of the project on his own. My contractor went on to say that while he wished his son would have chosen the college route, he knew his son was very talented and would be very successful continuing in the construction business.
I wholeheartedly agreed, telling him I wasn’t surprised he chose to follow in his father’s footsteps. I also pondered that conversation for some time last night, thinking about how we all need to be doing the same thing.
What parent hasn’t seen their child try and imitate their actions? Children have this incredible desire to be like their parents and do the things they do. It’s part of a loving relationship. It makes perfect sense to me that Paul, in Ephesians 5:1, tells us to “be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Our Father loves us like crazy, and we are to do what He does as a show of love in return.
Our heavenly Father loves us and leads us in the way we are to go. Are we faithfully following Him, and are we working to imitate the goodness and love that He shows to you each and every day? I pray so.
– Beth
