"We Know That When HE Is revealed, We Shall Be Like HIM"

Some day I shall be like that!

(J.R. Miller)

"For whom HE foreknew, HE also
predestined to be conformed to 
the image of HIS SON!" Romans 8:29

No sooner do we begin to behold

the beauteous face which looks out

at us from the gospel chapters, than

a great hope springs up in our hearts--

we can become like JESUS! 

Indeed, if we are GOD'S children,

we shall become like HIM. We

are predestined to be conformed

to HIS image!

It matters not how faintly the Divine

beauty glimmers now in our soiled

and imperfect lives--

some day we shall be like HIM!

As we struggle here with imperfections

and infirmities, with scarcely a trace

of Christlikeness yet apparent in our

life, we still may say, when we catch

glimpses of the glorious loveliness of

CHRIST, "Some day I shall be like that!"

"We know that when HE is revealed, 
we shall be like HIM, for we shall 
see HIM as HE is!" 1 John 3:2
