In The End, We Shall Be Altogether Like JESUS

All of life's aiming and striving

(J.R. Miller)

"He who says he abides in HIM,
ought himself also to walk just
as HE walked." 1 John 2:6

Character grows as the baby matures

into manhood. Every day something

is written on our character, some

mark made.

The mother writes something;

the teacher writes something;

every day's experiences write some words;

every touch or influence of other lives,

leaves some mark;

temptation and struggle,

do their part in filling the page;

books, education, sorrow, joy,

companions, friends--

all of life touches and paints 

some line of beauty--

or scratches some mark 

of marring on our character.

Our final character, is the result

of all these influences which work

and co-work upon our life. In the end,

we shall be altogether like JESUS;

hence all of life's aiming and 

striving should be towards 

HIS blessed beauty.

"For those GOD foreknew, 
HE also predestined to be 
conformed to the likeness 
of HIS Son!" Romans 8:29
