When I was in my last year of college, I took a course entitled, Psychology of Education with Dr. Nat P. He was a smart man and I learned from his wealth of knowledge. I was also a friend of his son, Steve P. who went to church with me in Hixson, Tennessee. I was intrigued by how the father and son were so alike. So, one day in class, being the distracted student that I was, I observed 18 specific mannerisms that Steve and his father shared! Of course, I couldn’t tell which were learned as Steve mimicked his father, or which he inherited from his dad. Hey, can the same be said about me and my heavenly Father?! Am I more like Him every day? There are several characteristics that I got when I was born again into God’s forever family, and there are others that I learn as I become like the dear Lord. Hey, what about you? Are you becoming more like your Father? Paul said in II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Are you becoming like your heavenly Father? I hope so.
