One of the classic's of Christian literature is Thomas A Kempis' "Imitation of Christ". Here is a brief extract:
The desire of every child of God, which has been placed in his heart by the Holy Spirit, is to be like Jesus. God works and moves in our lives, in both bad and good, according to His great sovereign plan, that we might "be conformed to the image of His son" (Rom. 8:29) This is why "All things work together for good for those who love God." (Rom. 8:28) His intention is that Jesus might be the "first born among many brethren". (Rom. 8:29) We are not yet perfect but we are going on to our eternal perfection. Let this be our constant longing and prayer. O to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer, This is my constant longing and prayer; Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures, Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear. O to be like Thee, O to be like Thee, Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art! Come in thy sweettness, come in thy fulness Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart! T. O. Chisholm |
