the man from heaven

1 Corinthians 15:49: And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

More and more of Jesus... that’s what I want and what I want to look like. He’s the perfect example of having faith, grace, love, wisdom, and power. There are so many things that hit us through the course of a day or a week that make us want to become upset, frustrated, depressed, discouraged, or push away the people around us, but what truly displays our character is how we react. More and more of trusting God… it’s what I’ve been doing the past few days… the triple attack is hitting me harder and harder... the world, the flesh, and the devil…

The flesh is trying to control me... the world is trying to discourage me, and the devil is trying to make me give into the past two... But God is greater than all 3, and if I give in… the more I push back the progress of what God’s spirit is trying to work in me. I don’t wanna be stuck in the same place or state forever… I wanna keep moving forward… I wanna walk in the spirit and look like Jesus because He’s attractive! Who doesn’t want to be attractive? Who doesn’t want to be a man or woman of integrity? I want to be like the man from heaven… and the only way I’ll become like Him is if I hang out with Him… in His presence through prayer –both speaking and listening- God is good, all the time.
