I still live here too. I'm nothing like Jesus. My will is not constantly surrendered to God as Jesus is. I don't always love others as I should and my thoughts often wander along paths that I should not tread. I know I should do one thing but instead, I do another. I desire to do good things, but I grow weary, become sick, or emotionally overloaded and instead of doing good, I do evil. I am not humble when I should be. Instead, I am prideful and easily take offense. My words are often harmful and set my world and the world of others on fire. I am Pam and I am sinful, but...
Jesus lives in me; and though I am not Him, He is right here with me. He is my friend that sticks closer than any brother or sister. I am not Him and that is why I so very much need Him. Through His taking up residence in me and with me, I am being transformed by His love and His faithfulness to me despite me. Though I am not Jesus, Jesus lives in me and one day, I will awake with His likeness. I will not be Jesus, I will be me but I will be as God designed me to be; I will be just like Jesus.
As for they whom you love and also hate, control your anger. Careful, I say to you. Hate that which is against God...do not hate them who were created by God. For He is rich in mercy and forgiveness. ~ Jesus [Letters from God and His Christ - Volume1 - The Servants of God Have Been Sent Out to Blow Their Trumpets to the Nations...Hear Them for the Spirit Dwells Within Them]
