To be more like Jesus is more than just to be kind.

It’s biting your lip when you really DO mind.

It’s finding purpose even in the daily grind. 

.

It’s listening and gifting your time, even if you’re spending your own dime.

.

To be more like Jesus is to be willing to serve.

To serve even if it gets on your last nerve.

.

It’s when you think it could be a perfect day

but things don’t go your way.

And you have to appreciate the circumstance anyway.

.

We struggle to find the good,

when we are bothered under the collar, hot under the hood.

.

From an ideal, humans DO stray,

And yet we are called to NOT “call it a day”…

.

But maybe the best thing you can be.

When there’s all this negativity, 

Is to be Jesus in a Jesus Way,

and put the GOOD back into the day.

.

It may be frustrating, but life is for forgiving.

. 

Adding Jesus, cloak over shirt, cheek over cheek, 2 miles for one.

Serving not only 99, but serving and saving just ONE.

.

That is the best and God-righteous way, 

The Only Way,

Making Jesus’s Way matter MOST today.

Be the Jesus in THIS day.

.

AMEN
