We’re like chameleons. The more time we spend in an
environment, the more adapted we become to it. The more time we spend with
someone, the more we start speaking and acting and using phrases like them. I
do it often. It’s not something that I try and do; in fact I fight the power. I
don’t go into a conversation thinking, “Ok, now I’m going to say 'good not great' like Yas.” I don’t see something funny and then decide to laugh like Chels. By
hanging out with them, they’ve just rubbed off on me. As Selena Gomez would
say, it just comes naturally. By being with them, I become like them. And I
think it’s an honour to them and a sign of our close relationship that I would
let myself change to be like them.
Ephesians 5:1
“Be imitators, therefore, as dearly loved children.”
How do we imitate God? Simple. We just need to be with Him
to become like Him. As I draw near to Him, He’ll draw near to me and rub off on
me, making me more like Christ. The time I spend with Jesus should be evident
in the things I do and say, I should be becoming like Him. Being like Jesus will
glorify and honour Him in the biggest way. Allow yourself to adapt to the
awesomeness of Jesus.
When the world is out to get you and no where feels safe, make like a chameleon and camouflage into Jesus.
