Christ-like?

My husband and I had a thought provoking conversation yesterday. We were sitting on the back porch and he said that one of his friends had asked him, “Where is your heart”. We were pondering that question and where our priorities have been lying. We are caught up in so many things right now and preparing for so many new adventures. It’s easy to forget what we really believe is important. Kit also asked me if I believe that Jesus could really come tomorrow. Could he? Well, that was yesterday and today is the day after yesterday or tomorrow… so, He didn’t. But that doesn’t mean He’s not coming soon. Do I live my life as I should? I’m pretty sure that I don’t. I gossip and envy and am full of pride. My thoughts and my actions are nowhere close to the standard that Jesus has set. Thank God, he is full of mercy and forgiveness and loves me no matter what absurdities I display. But that does not mean that I shouldn’t challenge myself to become more like him. This is the challenge I encounter. What is “Christ-like”. I feel that some people’s impressions of what Christ is like is definitely not the Christ that I know. So, as I seek to become a more Christ-like person… what will that look like? Does that mean I never cuss. Does that mean I never watch a questionable movie? I’m pretty sure that it is something deeper than those things. I’m going to try and ponder questions like this more frequently. I would love to have other people’s thoughts as well. I’m not sure if this blog will become a continual thing or not. The Christian walk is a very personal thing… but should it be? Should we not share our struggles with each other? We’ll see if I’m brave enough to in the future!
