Oftentimes I prayed, “Lord, I want to be like You.” Who He is, His love, His mercy, His grace . . .

I no longer will. For I have concluded that striving to be like Jesus, has at times drawn me away from Him.

Asking to be like Christ has been an unanswered prayer for me. An invalid request, no matter how sincere I was.

Me? Be like Him? That would have me comparing myself to Him who has no comparisons. I would not be successful. I have not the ability. It is something I cannot do.

Even so. What I can do is pray, “Lord I want to be Yours. All Yours, having no divided affections.”

That is something I have the ability to do. Give myself wholly to God, just as I am; both in strength and in weakness.

Now I am within reach of my One Pearl of Great Price.



Be blessed, Stay blessed, and be Bold!
