MORE LIKE HIM THAN I THOUGHT
Today's reading:  Luke 3-4

I want to be like Jesus.

I try.  Really, I do.

Some days I see it more evidently than others.  Some days, I don't see it at all.

I'm alway perusing the Scriptures for verses that point to similarities between the two of us...and this morning, I've found one.

"All who were there spoke well of him and were amazed by the gracious words that fell from his lips.  How can this be? they asked, Isn't this Joseph's son?"  Luke 4:22 NLT

There are times when people who knew me 'when' are amazed to see who I am now.  They're awed by what I've been enabled to do, how I've changed my speech, how bold I am in speaking for Him.

You see, I'm just Bobby and Nora's oldest.

I'm just a high school graduate.

I just attend a small (but definitely growing) country church.

I just attempt to do what God leads me to do--and that amazes people!

I'm a nobody He's choosing to use and that thrills me to no end.
