To Be Like Jesus ~

To be like Jesus,
our minds have to entwine
it may take a lifetime . . .
for our hearts to align.

For us to finally put off,
our former, sinful ways
to our old worldly desires
we must daily reappraise.

Our old lustful thoughts,
must daily be transformed
our greedy attitudes
will need to be reformed.

Our minds have to be,
continuously changed
from our corrupt attitudes
we must become estranged.

To be like Jesus,
takes the Holy Spirit’s doing
it may take a lifetime . . .
but, it’s so worth our pursuing!

Ephesians 4:22-24

” That ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.”
