"Then there is need of a higher standard of character in this regard than many people seem to set for themselves. We never rise higher than our ideals; the perfect beauty of Christ should ever be visioned in our hearts as that which we would attain for ourselves. The honor of our Master's name should impel us to strive ever toward Christlikeness in spirit and in disposition. We represent Christ in this world ; people cannot see him, and they must look at us to see a little of what he is like. Whatever great work we may do for Christ, if we fail to live out his life of patience and forbearance, we fail in an essential part of our duty as Christians.”
J.R. Miller
Amen!
"One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord . . ."
~Psalm 27:4~
"As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness."
~Psalm 17:15~
Thanks for sharing this quote Mr. Konvalin; but thanks most of all for living it out.
I believe that you are a very godly man, and while I know you're not perfect, I just wanted to let you know that I see the beauty of Christ in your life.
May God give us the grace to cut off all the idols in our lives and the sins that we fall into so that we may pursue and serve Christ with undivided hearts.
God bless you, my friend!
John
