Imitating Christ

```markdown

Romans 15:1-8​

Dear Father, God of steadfast love,
May the strength you give us be used to bear with the failings of those who are weak, not to please ourselves, but to please our neighbor for his good, to build him up.
In this let us imitate Jesus, your Son, who did not please himself, but lived as it was written of him, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me."
May you, our Father, the God of steadfastness and encouragement, grant us Christians to live in such harmony with one another, in full accord with Jesus Christ, that together we may with one voice glorify you, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus and according to his command. Amen.

Imitate the Lord in every aspect of your life. There is blessings coming to your way when you do and say what Jesus did. Tell Jesus, I want to be like You, feel like You, I want to be with You in heaven. That should be our deepest desire of our heart.
