Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
(Ephesians 5)
It's not really what I feel like doing - imitating God the Father and Christ. Both have demonstrated great love towards me even when I did not deserve it. If I am to imitate them - I need to love others even when they do not deserve it. Sometimes, some days I would just rather give them what they do deserve. And that is where imitating God must start - in my heart and mind - thinking love and determining to allow the mind of Christ to supercede mine. "Lord, let me love today as You have, as You do, as You always will."
