A Strong Resemblance

TAP Strong Resemblance 32019

Is there a strong resemblance between you and your Father? Do you have a heart like His?In other words, do you love the same things He loves and dislikes the same things He dislikes? Do you have eyes like your Father?  I’m not referring to blue, brown, or hazel colored eyes that may match those of your biological father but, I am speaking of spiritual eyes that match those of your Heavenly Father. 

Of course, there are no earthly words that can accurately describe the greatness, excellence, and magnificence of our God.  However, we know what His attributes are because the Holy Bible tells us that God is love (1Jn 4:8).  According to Psa 145:8, He is full of mercy, compassion, and doesn’t get angry easily.  He is faithful (1Cor 1:9).  The descriptions of His character are far too many to mention in this blog.  However, there is enough information to allow you to examine yourself to see if it is absolutely apparent that your life shows that you have a relationship with the Almighty God.

For Instance:

  • Do you see as He sees?
  • Do you like what He likes?
  • Do you hate what He hates?
  • Do you feel what He feels?
  • Do you listen to things that please His ears?
  • Is your heart filled with compassion?
  • Do you have a judgmental attitude?
  • Do you find it easy to forgive others or do you keep score and hold grudges?
  • Do you love everyone?

Is there a strong resemblance?  Can people look at you and see so much of God in your life that they can actually feel His goodness emanating from you?   I’m sure that the Lord smiles when He sees His children exhibiting His character.  We are not perfect and will certainly fall short of getting things right every time but, we can rest assured that He is always there with love, mercy, and forgiveness to help us do better and continue in our walk with Him.

Just as a good earthly father is proud of his children when they do things that are  right such as walking with integrity, treating people with kindness, dignity, and respect, getting back up when they fall down, and the list goes on; our Heavenly Father is proud of us when we do things that show forth His character.

Let’s be intentional about having our Father’s eyes and seeing as He sees.

  • What part of your character do you think really pleases God?
