Title: Imitate God.

-
‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:1‭-‬2‬ ‭KJV‬
[1] Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; [2] and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Devotion: As a child, my third son used to imitate me, he talked as I did, walked as i did, ate what I ate infact everything I did he copied. Till date he loves me and checks on me daily. 
 This is what we are called to do - imitate Christ–choosing love over indifference, forgiveness over resentment, and selflessness over self-interest as we do this our lives become a fragrant aroma to God and to those around us. 
 It’s not always easy to mirror Christ's love, if we try daily with Holy Spirit assistance it will become part of us. It will ultimately become a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God that permeates our relationships, workplaces and communities when we practice it, even if we don’t see it or feel it.
 Dear reader, where are you on the spectrum? Consider your actions, words, and attitudes today. Reflect on the fragrance they might emit. How aligned are they with the love and sacrificial nature of Christ? Try to adjust and put it into practice. The Lord bless you, hallelujah! Please share your thoughts with us here.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial.
