So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)
I spent the week last week with a couple of toddlers. Once each day we sat and watched movies. They were usually Disney or Pixar movies. As I watched with them, I remembered the line in the Jungle Book song "I Wanna Be Like You" that says:
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
And I thought about God. Shouldn't this be our goal? To walk like Jesus and talk like Jesus? How do we do that? How do we start to walk like him and talk like him?
The thing is, we have to spend time with him to facilitate that change. We become what we behold. Truly, each day the goal is to represent Christ in a way that inspires people to know him. We can't do that if we don't reflect his image well.
So, as you walk through your jungle today sing the song:
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
And remind yourself what it's really all about.
