All of life's aiming and striving
(J.R. Miller)
"He who says he abides in Him, ought himself also to walk just as He walked." 1 John 2:6
Character grows as the baby matures into manhood. Every day something is written on our character, some mark made.
The mother writes something;
the teacher writes something;
every day's experiences write some words;
every touch or influence of other lives, leaves some mark;
temptation and struggle, do their part in filling the page;
books, education, sorrow, joy, companions, friends —
all of life touches and paints some line of beauty — or scratches some mark of marring on our character.
Our final character, is the result of all these influences which work and co-work upon our life. In the end, we shall be altogether like Jesus; hence all of life's aiming and striving should be towards His blessed beauty.
"For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son!" Romans 8:29
