Daily I understand the Depth of God's Love, The Width of His Embrace, the Length of His Pureness, and the Height of His Mercy! To Give to a people who have no concern for no one but themselves seems crazy. God embraced selfishness, ungodly attitudes, ungrateful behavior, disobedient, disrespectful, unruly, nasty, ugly Souls. On this journey, it is almost hard to phantom at times His ability to Love us pass what He sees, and the things that we do. I would have never imagined that I'd have to learn to deal with those very same things. But; then I thought about myself, how throughout the years of trying to understand the Why of what people do. I couldn't see that I myself, was listed in this list of craziness. It wasn't until then I could see myself in others, and that is what caused me to want to be LIKE CHRIST! I'll say it again, when you can see yourself in others, you will cry out LORD CHANGE ME! This is the acknowledgement that will allow the process between the I and He that Liveth in me to begin in your life. This is the process of circumcision of the Heart, changing of the guards in your life and the changing of the position, you take when you are faced with yourself from someone else. God is looking for Himself in us, and if we are full of ourselves, He is obsolete.

The process is never ending, to desire to be Like Christ is daily. We must make a conscience choice not to allow self to have rule! To be Crucified with Christ, is to not live the I of who you have become, but whom you were before the beginning of time. In Galatians 2:20 it says:(TLB) 20 I have been crucified with Christ: and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Thank God we have second, third, fourth, and fifth chances by the grace of God to live this life through Him.

In understanding that, know that the pain of change hurts your Mind more than your body, because what you have been taught has to be dismantled, therefore; the pain you feel will be heart wrenching, mind boggling, and the body will feel the effects of it. You must learn to be obedient in the process of how you are being treated, feeling unloved, abused, judged, scorned, rejected, mocked, & even hated by man, will seem almost unbearable. You will be placed in the position even the more to be alone in this world, separated in the separation, according to who you are in Him and the cost of the call, for His will and purposes in your life.

Everyone who chooses to live this life will experience 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (TLB) ~ 8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don’t know why things happen as they do, but we don’t give up and quit. 9 We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going. 10 These bodies of ours are constantly facing death just as Jesus did; so it is clear to all that it is only the living Christ within who keeps us safe.[a]

When the mind can grasp this, then It will change your manner of conversation, which will prevent you from un-Godly behavior, a nasty attitude, jacked-up dispositions, a dysfunctional mentality, giving into inordinate affections, and you will not desire to live by your emotions any longer. However; you will begin to manifest the Fruit of the Spirit, that will build your character in every area of your life to Reflect Christ!

It's a Process but; without a Willing Heart, It will be hard to do! Remember Love had mercy, and grace, and compassion for those who knew no better!
